Your baby will be getting larger and roll-over movements happen less
often. By now, your baby may have learned to suck his thumb. If his
thumb pops out of his mouth, you may feel his head darting from side to
side as he tries to find it again.
During the final two weeks of your pregnancy, the movements are likely to slow down.
Instead, you may notice an insistent kicking underneath your ribs on
one side or the other. This slowing down is normal, but if you're
worried about your baby's movements, always see your doctor or midwife.
By now, your baby should be nestled in your pelvis, ready to make
his journey into the world. His head can feel like a melon pressing on your pelvic floor. If your baby isn't head-down, find out how to get him into the best position for birth.
There will be times when your baby is sleeping and other times when
he's active. He may liven up in the evenings or when you're lying in bed
trying to get to sleep. Your baby may keep the same pattern of activity into his first few weeks of life, until he learns to tell day from night.
