Last three weeks- Anyone with experience? | 9/28/09 10:15 AM
So I that the closer to D Day you get, the more uncomfortable you beocme, but i was just wondering if anyone out there knows- is it common to feel significantly MORE movement from baby? I'm 37 weeks, and I feel like he never stops moving anymore, and he has become SO much stronger! He will literally send me shooting out of my chair sometimes. Sleep is just ridiculous at this stage too. Anyway- just curious if anyone else has experienced more movement when approaching their due date??

yes!!! I still have 4 weeks to go, but I am finding it increasingly uncomfortable. baby is definitely rolling around more, not so much kicking, but rolling and pushing, and it hurts! I will get shooting pains straight into my pubic area, which literally make my spine stiffen! sleeping is next to impossible because there is no position that helps my back pain, which is the worst while lying down and keeps me up! Plus my tummy constantly feels rock hard, and way to inflated!

I have felt the same way! I'm 38 weeks and she moves more now than ever before! I'll be sitting or laying down and it feels like she is trying to kick or punch her way out of my belly! I read that they stop moving as much because there isn't the room for them, but not in my case!
She is giving me a lot of back pain right now! I've had a pretty easy going pregnancy, but I'm ready for her to make her appearance! I'm sure you feel the same way of your little guy....good luck!!

My first son did pretty much what you are describing. His strength was crazy. he could push out his legs so hard you could see and count his toes. And as for sleep....well some just have to kiss that good bye.
