hey there, my son was exactly the same, he was craziest at night and used to keep me up with very hard kicks and punches. He only settled down in the few days before I gave birth to him which was at 40w2d. he was still fairly active, but his movements were quite slow IYKWIM?
I also got sharp pains down below for a few weeks leading up to the birth which was just him moving down and getting ready.
But yes, its said they do settle down before birth
Sorry if I havent been much help!
Wishing you a wonderful labour!
