Anyone else have a baby still going crazy in the womb?  

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
i'm due on friday, but my little guy has not found his comfortable position i'm assuming. he's at least head down, but he's still spinning from left to right all day long(and night). he's laying posterior too. i can sort of get him on my side, but not all the way, and he just flips right back to the back anyway, despite all my efforts(and i try all day to get him in a better position! it's so frustrating when he just flips right back!).

he's just absolutely going crazy most of the day too. he doesn't kick too hard, but pushes and moves soo much it gets really uncomfortable. my belly is just like a bowl of jello flopping all over the place with limbs sticking out every which way! everyone comments on it. lol also, when he's going from left to right i feel like he's splitting my insides down low and i get the worst pains in my cervix/pubic bones! when he gets like that i just can hardly move at all because it's so painful, like right now....which is why i'm trying to distract myself here at the computer. i don't know if he's getting his hands/arms down there and trying to turn around like that, or what.

with my other two, they were pretty much stuck in a good position from about 36-37 weeks on. they kicked a *lot*, but they didn't change position at all, and none of these crazy water aerobics! feels like he's just having a grand old time in there!

anybody else here with me??

Me toooo! It's really frustrating, actually - because (s)he was LOA up until maybe a week and a half ago, and now (s)he flops around left to right, front to back all the time. >.< Half the time I'm not even sure (s)he is properly head-down.... I could swear transverse and stretching/kicking out sideways!

With my luck, I'll be one of those women whose baby is wiggling and kicking all the way through labour and delivery.

But, I mean, at least it's movement, right? At least the one thing I don't have to freak out about is stillbirth. :

ETA - Oh, and I'm 39w tomorrow!

I'm 40+3, and my baby has been ROA for a long time, except for a couple of days around 38 weeks when he was LOA. I get the feeling he is trying to move (back to LOA ?) but maybe there is no more room. My belly turns into a rectangle when he sticks his butt out on my right side and his feet on my left and it hurts!

yep, i'll be 40wks on saturday, and my LO can't find a spot and stick to it. i'm really just hoping the babe isn't posterior when labor sets in. ITA that it's so frustrating when they keep changing position when you're doing everything you're supposed to to encourage their optimal positioning. the past 2 days my LO finally settled in LOA and i was so excited, and then of course this morning it was back to posterior again! the only good thing about it all is that they're still moving from side to side a lot. i would be way more worried if the babe was posterior and just not budging, yk?
