It's totally normal. Just hang in there. The last few days and weeks seem soooo long! But it'll be so worth it and remember - you'll get to tease him about how long you carried him, how much he kicked, how you couldn't sleep right, how you carried him for NINE month -rent free! Everything is perfectly fine and he'll be wonderful, too.

Normal,for this baby,some are more active than others. The active ones tend to arive earlyer since they want more room to play in. He will settle down a little just before you go into labor. A rocking chair ride might put him back to sleep when he is kicking up too much of a fuss.

Yes they dont actually ever settle down all the way . Im 36 weeks with a boy and he's moving everywhere, it was the same with my 2 yr old (also a boy). Although Im having the trouble of feeling him down in my pelvis already, cause according to my midwife he's already 0 station. Good luck and hope he comes out soon!

Very normal and really cool...I know it seems like it will never happen soon enough, but after you give birth, you kind of miss feeling him in there. They are so much a part of you while they are still in the womb and there is a little sadness once they leave the inside and come out into the world. Good luck!!

Sorry, I didn't quite make it to 38 weeks, but I was pretty uncomfortable at 36 weeks, so I would say yes it is normal, but I don't know from personal experience.

hi my son was taken section at 38 weeks he weighed 9lbs 2 oz and i thought i was gonna die every time he moved if your belly is getting hard or pushing up that's probably a contraction after i had him i didn't understand how he even fit in there so your baby doesn't have much room its all squished lol and its probably trying to stretch out

That's definitely normal. And although it's kinda annoying, you don't have much longer to go. One day you'll quit having children and you'll kinda miss that feeling. I had my tubes tied so I know what I'm talking about on this one. Sometimes it hurts, but at least you know he's active and ok.
