Baby movement at 34 weeks

It has been a while since I have had a baby and I am concerned about the amount of movement I am feeling. I will have two or three days of what I think is normal movement. Movement every hour off and on through out the hour. On other days, I might feel the baby move ten ten but it is group together, Like the baby has rolled or changed positions and then maybe a kick hear and there through out the day. There is no pattern and if I do not feel anything for a while I drink cold water and lay down. Two weeks ago I went for an NST and the nurse said the baby passed on movement and technically, since I was 31 weeks six day and not 32 weeks I passed on heart rate accelerations. She said if I would have been 32 weeks I would not have passed. She told me chart movement for two weeks and then bring it to my OB. I go tomorrow for that appointment. I guess I am curious as to how much your babies move, and is it a consistent pattern. I am trying to gather all the info I can, so I know whether to push the issues and so I can get some rest. It is just a huge worry to me.

 do you do kick counts?  I actually don't, but maybe if you track it that way, you will start to see a pattern?  

I'm 35 weeks and Aidan moves a lot, but he seems to have certain times of the day where he is more active.  

Every now and again, I will notice I haven't felt him in a little while, so I start to pay closer attention. ...and will do kick counts to make sure he's moving at least 10 times in a 2 hour period.  

Hopefully your doc will be able to give you some reassurance at your appointment!  Good luck!  :)  
They have minds of their own and just like to make us worry sometimes I guess ;)

How did your appt go?  I am 36 weeks and have noticed the same thing.  One day, baby girl will be very active all day and then very mildly active  the next.  My OB said that she is at the age/size now that she would move as much.  It always worries me though.
