I swear blind I had bruised ribs, nat!
In a way it's true about them not moving around so much towards the end..they do still move a bit, although I would say they are more 'shifting' movements rather than full on kicks. You will probably find that just before labour starts she will 'rest' a little and movements become much less frequent ~ probably natures way of making sure she is prepared for the tough job ahead :o)
You may also find you will have a really deeep sleep during that time too..that nesting instinct doesn't kick in for everyone..lol.
