reduced movement before labor?

[AriannasMama]

Is it common to have reduced movement before labor? Arianna has been more quiet the past few days, usually it feels like she is trying to bust through my skin, lol. I got hooked up to the monitor at the doctors yesterday and I am having contractions, they are just irregular and painless, lol. I had a conversation with her that she will be MUCH more comfortable out here, but I don't think she was listening.

So ladies who already had their babies, was yours more quiet right before labor?

Harley has been quiet over the past few days but i think he just has no room to move bless him and every time he does its like bam and my bumps a funny shape last wednesday i was hooked up to a monitor having painless contractions and im still here now but my cervix are still closed, do you know how far your babys engaged or anything? because you never know if your cervix are thinning then things could be slowly starting they say the babys quiet before labour FX'd !!

Not sure how engaged she is, but she was lower at this appointment, and I am 75-80% thinned out and only 1cm dilated. She's just stubborn, lol.
