Nearly 38 weeks and baby still very active!

My DS never slowed down, LOL. He was extremely active right up till and even DURING labour!! In between contractions and during rests while pushing he was STILL kicking me!! The midwives were amazed, LOL.

He is now 17 months old...and he doesn't walk...he RUNS! He doesn't stand still or sit still...he stands there JUMPING! LOL

Yep Bella was the same - she really ramped up her movements the latter it got - I went to 42 weeks and she was really active and you could see it all the time!!

Enjoy.. I miss it now!

Hi Firstbub
These babies are all different. Some do slow down prior to birth but I have known them to still be kicking as they are being born.

DD was still very active through most of my labour and didn't slow down until I had about a hr or two to go. I thought the same thing, and was so disheartened when she just wouldn't slow down, but labour came, even with her still wriggling about!

i went 8 days overdue and DD was active until the day she came....she completely slowed down and was worried and went to hossy and they said ur in labour ( was early stages but did have her within 12 hrs of them saying that) so ther u go

Yep Charlotte never stopped either - until the day before she was came - I was 8 days over

Yep - what Alan said. My DD was 11 days overdue, as she was being born my belly was shaking like I was in an earthquake cause she was kicking her legs so much!
