Welcome to Health care magic.

The baby is right side in terms of position of the spine, and presentation - is which part of the baby is seen to wards the cervix / pelvic opening. Which is cephalic in your case which is good sign.

Baby moment is not much - should be concerned as the movements should be adequate. In a BPP - biophysical profile at this time of pregnancy is indicated rated as 8points / out of 8. Tone of baby, movement , respiration , liquor and heart rate is evaluated.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
