In the last month of a pregnancy, the baby’s movements become more rare and less frequent because the baby is bigger and the space in the uterus becomes smaller. Finally, in the last month of a pregnancy the baby enters the small area of the pelvis and its movements become even rarer. Therefore, it doesn’t seem likely that there is anything wrong with the fetus you are carrying.
