Help! Is this normal?

in 3rd Trimester
I’m 36 weeks and 5 days with a little boy. With our first son, I was induced so I never actually went through labor naturally and he didn’t move much in the last month. My baby now is moving a lot. In fact he’s been moving all day nonstop and it’s starting to hurt my muscles and body because of the movements. Is this normal? Does it mean labor is soon?

    Not necessarily, and hopefully not at 36 weeks.

    Movement is good.  3rd trimester is the most uncomfortable, esp the last 3 weeks or so.

    I remember the last two weeks of my last pregnancy I was almost begging the kid to break the water and come out already, he was so big and so active! He was only 2 days early, though. Hang in there. I've never heard of increased movement as a sign of labor, but I understand your discomfort.

    My first was active but my second was wild. He was heads up until he flipped at 36 weeks. That was super uncomfortable. I hoped he would slow down a little but he still hasn’t at 3yo.

    My baby at 39.5 weeks will move so much he almost makes me sore in some spots where he’s stretching out!

    I'm 38 weeks and 4 days and mine is so restless.  Baby boy's movement pokes my skin in the most uncomfortable way ever. It's so painful!
