DS was as active as ever, he didnt slow down at any time before labour started. I was in labour 25.5hrs, and he spent most of the time kicking me inbetween contractions lol. It wasn't pleasant during transition, I'd be thinking "yes, that contraction over, prepare for the next.." then BAM, massive kick in the ribs lol. I remember complaining about it to my DP & midwife and they laughed lol. And I remember saying & thinking "I thought babies were suppose to slow down?!". I think he just likes kicking me, he still does it now when I'm playing with him lol
