Suddenly I feel my baby a lot less!!

Hi ladies, I'm going crazy!
A few days ago I started a thread about 'I feel my baby so often and so strongly', wondering how that's possible at 31 weeks (since there should be less space), but I even woke up at night because he was moving and turning so hard.
Now...all of a sudden, for the past 2 days, I barely feel him! Just very light kicks and that's it. I'm extremely worried...do you recognize this?

    YES!!! Exactly what you're saying!!

    My girl can even hurt me because she's so active!!
    Suddenly she didn't wake me up in the morning!!
    I could feel her, but so lightly? I was really worried and got told: Be happy, you get some rest in your body too, but I didn't think so!! I got scared!
    I really didn't feel right, called my mom and she managed to reassure me by telling me that in all her pregnancies (12!!!) she went to the OB-GYN at least once in a panic because she could barely feel anything.
    It's indeed a lack of space and it's not easy to decide:
    To report it or not??
    (It's not the first story I've heard where the umbilical cord was wrapped around the baby's head and that does make you think)

    It only lasted 2 days and now she's super active again! Phew!
    Recently I woke up screaming because she gave me such a big kick!!

    But don't go crazy with worry, better do an extra check-up for your peace of mind, in case you feel guilty later if something turns out to be wrong..

    Yeah, it's possible they've turned (for example, with their feet pointing toward your spine instead of your belly), and they're naturally getting less space.
    If you're unsure, just go to the midwife to get it checked. Better to check one time too many than too few.
