Answer 1

Good thing you're almost done, huh?
Sorry, no ideas, just sympathy.
Congrats on the baby though.

Answer 2

Both my kids did that. Half the time they were entrenched right under my rib cage and kicked like crazy to make more room for themselves.

What worked best for me was walking and eating. I would snack on a banana or something and either pace up and down the halway, or if daytime go for a walk outside. A treadmill would work too. The motion helps them to drift to sleep. That's why they are soothed when we use rocking chairs. The motion is familiar after they are born and helps them relax.

Answer 3

I know that walking & moving usually settles the baby. Also high energy/sugary foods & drinks cause a baby to move around more. Otherwise hang in there you've almost made it to the end.

Answer 4

Try soothing music. I always use a portable cd player and headphones whenever my baby is extremely active. I put the headphones on my stomach and listen to classical musuc. It always has worked for me.

Answer 5

I suppose you could try music or talking to her or stroking your belly to soothe her, apart from that take this time to realise that for once, you know where she is 'cos if she's a wriggler when she's born you've had it for the quiet life. Good Luck

Answer 6

it will not stop until you deliver him. baby's movements can even help in the delivery because it somehow helps dilates
the cervix for the head of the baby to crown.

Answer 7

rub your tummy or slot in music for the baby

Answer 8

LMAO

Answer 9
