When do foetal movements slow down?

[highlander]

I've been getting a good kicking for what feels like all day since 17wks. I thought it would decrease after 25 wks-ish, but it's getting worse!

I'm now 30+5 - will he quieten down soon? (pleeeeeeeeease!)

If mine is anything to go by, never. I'm now 41+1 and baby is still kicking like a good 'un. Sorry I know this isn't what you want to hear

feel mine moving more than ever at 39+4, I'm afraid - there may be less movements (I'm not sure) but they are much stronger cos there's not much space left!

I must admit I really like feeling her moving - it makes it all more real

sorry you're having a hard time though - have you tried playing some soothing classical music to your bump to quieten things down? I did this one night when I just couldn't sleep for all the action. It worked perfectly (at least I feel asleep!) until I woke up in the small hours and found the music had changed to some sort of uptempo military anthem which brought on a bout of marching !

fortunately, he sleeps all night (unless I'm having trouble, then I get the occasional wee kick).
After lunch I have to lie down and let him have a little 'play'

It is cute, just uncomfy!
