HI,
I understand your concern.
At 7th month, baby starts descending down in pelvis... so fetal movements are reduced than before.If USG report & fetal heart activity is normal there is nothing to worry about.
You have been Fasting & postprandial blood sugar though you are non diabetic, there is possibility of pregnancy diabetes( which leads to obesity in mother & increased fetal weight.
Your doctor might have some doubts , so he has ordered the investigations to exclude pregnancy diabetes.
Thanks.
