The feeling of baby kicking will continue to change throughout your pregnancy from choreographed movements at 6 months, to stronger punches and kicks at 7 months, to wriggling and turning as baby rapidly grows in months 8 and 9.
Keep in mind that babies are unique, and the rhythms and patterns of their activity will vary. Try not to compare your baby's movements with those of others or of your own previous children if you have any. Try not to jump to conclusions if your baby seems unusually active in the womb. It doesn't mean you'll have a hyper child later on or that your baby is destined to go pro as a soccer player. Baby kicks — even those that are frequent and strong — are considered a normal and healthy part of fetal development.
Think of it like an exercise routine, strengthening all of those developing muscles and bones before she makes her big debut. You also might not realize how strong or often the average baby kicks. By the third trimester, you can expect to feel fetal activity every day — sometimes a lot of it! If your little drummer's bongo-playing on your belly starts to be more than you can take, try changing positions. Sit or lie down on your side.
Your baby will likely change positions too and find something else to do. And if a foot or feet lodges into your ribs in the last few weeks of pregnancy, a gentle nudge, a shift in your position or a set of pelvic tilts might bring some relief. You can even have a bit of fun with it: Starting at around month 8, you may be able to interact with your baby. Next time you see something protruding a knee, perhaps, or a foot? If the baby is game, you might see the limb get pulled back, then pushed out at you again.
When your baby drops head-first down into the pelvis up to two to three weeks before delivery, activity patterns could change again. You'll feel, quite strongly, every turn of your baby's head. Fortunately, those little feet can no longer dig into your ribs.
