Toward the end, babies have way less room and their kicks feel softer. Around 38+ weeks mine slowed down too. After meals, I'd lay on my side quietly and count, and I'd still feel little wiggles. A cold drink and lying on your left side can wake them. If it feels like a big decrease though, it's totally ok to ring your midwife or doctor just for peace of mind.
