As in are they still doing somersaults etc? This is dc3 for me. 1st and 2nd babies engaged by now and stayed put until take off. This baby was breech last night, transverse this afternoon and head down this evening. I think she is a dinky little thing like dc2 who was only 6lb12 at term, and I am 5ft9 with a big frame so I know she prob still has plenty of room for manoeuvre, but even so, were/are your babies still moving round like this at this stage? I can tell where she is by the elbows/knees/hiccups I can feel!

I'm 39 weeks with DC2 & she moves constantly still. Massive movements. At one point this evening she was almost transverse. My friend was watching my stomach & is convinced it's some sort of alien acrobat as opposed to a baby Grin.

36 weeks here. Short bursts of mad activity.
Breach one min, transverse then Lord knows where.
Consistantly feel either hands or feet kicking in my floo.....not nice.

Seems to like breach position, same as ds.

Cant distinguish between feet/elbows/knees tbh.

Its cute but makes me have those sharp tightenings which are making me hot and want to cry sometimes as its so uncomfortable.

Countdown now...EXCITING!!! Grin

36 weeks with DC3 here, staying head down, but rolling from side to side a lot. I feel like s/he has their legs stretched out as far as possible, and is kicking off my back/side, pushing up and out as far as it can. Plus I can feel hands/fingers dragging across the lower part of the bump.

I'm really uncomfortable at times, but I'm torn between wishing the last 4 weeks away, and feeling sad as I know I'll never be pregnant again.

37 weeks here and am in rib agony, was at triage for a totally different reason and the Dr had a feel and couldn't believe the pain i am in with it turns out i have 2 legs in a star shape under each side which just won't budge..

The joys of the final weeks!
