Is it true that babies go quiet before u go in to labour?

Question

Im now 8 days over due, but go in monday for induction, had my show after membrane sweep yesterday and some contractions since but tonight baby seems very active, i have heard they go quiet before birth, is there no hope!!!!!!!???

Answer 1

Snap. I am 11 days over and I also go in to be induced on Monday. I had a sweep on Thursday and I've had contractions on and off (mostly off) for about 5 days but as soon as i relax they stop. My baby has long periods of sleep these days and then does gymnastics for an hour when i sit down. The only thing that helps start my contractions off is walking. (s*x does nothing)

Good luck for Monday. I'm glad i wont be the only one.

Answer 2

My daughter never stopped kicking. She was still very active until she came out. However my cousin said her son and daughter both stopped moving about 3 days before she went into labor. Good luck. It really isn't long now. Try doing LOTS of walking and have s*x. Congrats!
