39 weeks and bizarre baby movements

I was finally getting used to the baby's movement pattern throughout the day, which started at about 20 weeks or so.

Now, for the last two weeks, there is absolutely no rhyme or reason to her movements. For the better part of last night she was a wild monkey, stretching, wiggling her bum, moving her head lower (ouch! lol) and just being a rambunctious little baby in there. Then I spent the first half of today panicking because I hardly felt her move once. Now she is back to bouncing off the walls of my uterus! I'm kinda confused, but also a little worried. There hasn't been a happy medium...it's always no movement for a long time, or an overload of movement for a long time.

Anyone experience this late in the game?

TIA!

Re: 39 weeks and bizarre baby movements

is it like 45 min intervals? I believe they are awake for 30/45 mins/active for 30/45 mins-- and the follow that cycle. She also may be getting into position. As long as you are feeling her move pretty consistently, I wouldn't worry. She's running out of room!
