39 weeks and baby is SO active tonight!

food_chick

He has always been pretty active and of course it tends to be uncomfortable these days, but tonight the past 15 minutes he has been so active and it is so painful!  Holy cow!  I cannot get comfortable and he just keeps on squirming, I've been telling dh he is doing yoga and jumping jacks in there.  Anyone else have energy bursts like this?

39 weeks here. Mine has been acting like that for a long while, though I accuse him/her of kickboxing rather than jumping jacks. For months everyone has said, "oh you won't feel the same movement later on because there won't be enough room." Well someone needs to tell my LO that in a convincing way. Kickie (an exceptionally appropriate nickname I gave LO much earlier on) is as committed to bursts of intense painful activity now as s/he was weeks ago.

I call mine either doing karate or being a dancing queen :-)

Yep, mine is still pretty active too. I love it - it gives me such peace of mind when she's moving around. I hate it when she doesn't move for a while, even though I know it's totally normal. Won't be long now!

I'm 39 weeks too.  I don't get much movement throughout the day but around 10pm she starts kickboxing.  I got a really cool video of it last night on my phone!

Same here. Usually she is pretty active throughout the whole day, but after dinner she starts dancing, moving her butt, feet and head (my bladder is always thankful for her head mouvements...)
Some nights, around 2, she starts moving even more! I think I have a tiny little ballerina I can't wait to meet

My little dude has definitely been more active over the past couple of weeks. He punches my cervix now and that hurts like a mofo - I have to dance around my living room to make him stop. He likes to flail so my entire stomach bounces out. The hiccups are so strong I have to stop what I'm doing because I get nauseous. But honestly, I love all the movement. I don't have any problems with him kicking while I fall asleep, it actually makes me fall asleep faster. 

Can't wait to meet my little guy!!!
