lots of movement - 6 days to due date

[nk1605]

I'm due on the 17th and for the past week or so baby has been so active! All through my pregnancy baby was very quiet, movements limited mostly to mid afternoon and then again about 9/10pm. nothing major.

but now I'm being woken up in the middle of the night because of their forceful movements and it carries on like that sporadically throughout the day.

is it normal for movements to increase so much and does it have any bearing on labour starting soon?

Wen I had mine I noticed I also had a lot of movement for a couple of days towards the end n wen I asked my midwife I was it's just bby getting into position and getting himself/herself ready to come n say hello maybe this is what's happenin to u hope this helps x
