Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Decreased fetal movements at this gestation age of pregnancy can be due to decreased oxygen supply to the fetus or due to decreased dietary intake, and is a sign of fetal compromise.
I would suggest you to consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined, ultrasound done to assess the fetal well being and delivery to be done if required to salvage the fetus.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
