    I used to jiggle my belly or yell at it...
    But, DD's head was always in the same spot and stuck out, so a few pokes in the head used to wake her up.

    I know. I'm cruel.
    It's funny how she loves to be tapped on the head.... It sends her into hysterical laughter..

    There is a position I sit in, in which baby will always move around a lot. It is just sitting slightly reclined on a cushion on the couch but it always makes bubba push uncomfortably into my ribs. Maybe if you know a position yours responds to you can try that?

    sitting with my legs up on the couch, leaning forwards always makes Ziggy squirm ... makes it tricky to get us both in a comfy position!!

    A friend used to put on icepack on her belly where bub's spine was, to make them move - as she'd wriggle away from the cold.

    glad all is going well, hope bubs has found the right spot and settled in ready for the big day. My DD's were quieter 1-2 days before their arrival

    I should have added that once my baby moved from lying on the LHS to perfectly anterior I couldn't feel much at all from her. She was born that night.

    i had this thought last night- here's hoping my LO has done the same thing.
