I'm about 30 weeks pregnant and my baby's movements have been really hurting me. It's not severe pain but it's definitely uncomfortable and sometimes it can be quite shocking. Everything I'm reading and my OB say this is pretty normal and it could even be internal bruising. is anyone else going through this? I don't recall having this with my son.
-
I had this with both kids! It makes me feel a bit better reading that you had it with one and not the other, because the pregnant people I knew at the time didn't really think movement hurt much and I think DH (and sometimes even myself) thought that I was overreacting or being melodramatic or whatever. But it REALLY hurt, like my ribs were bruised or something!
-
Movement has been painful from the beginning with this pregnancy. So different than #1.
-
Very normal. Sorry you're going through that. I started taking a liquid cal-mag supplement before bed at 30 weeks. It really helps with the pains, and it helped me sleep.
-
@wonderstruck: you poor thing! You really couldn't catch a break in either of your pregnancies huh?
Glad to hear its normal.
-
@littlejoy: Oh I'll try that!
-
@MrsMccarthy: Yeah, pretty much. I sound like the most whiny sick in pain person ever while pregnant. But the rest of the time I'm quite healthy and very rarely get sick or don't feel good.
-
@MrsMccarthy: YES!! Especially low down. It feels like she's kicking nerves. Really hurts.
-
After lunch C used to kick me right in the ribs, every day. Since it was always the same spot I could wedge my hand there and keep it from hurting too much, but it definitely hurt. Most of the time it wasn't that bad though.
-
@CatchAFallingStar: Iirc, during my third tri sometimes it felt like there was awful pressure on my cervix.
My son is lucky he's so cute!
-
I would say I'm in the same place as you (at 35 weeks). I would say it probably is all about positioning of the baby. Sitting higher she kicked my ribs or jabbed into the curve of my hip. Now that she's dropped the hiccups I loved so much in LO1 only give me the sensation I need to go to the bathroom. I wish the baby kicks and bumps were still sweet but now her space is limited it's just uncomfortable.
-
Yeah, normal by this point! I went from yay she is moving and kicking to OUCH stop kicking!!
-
I hear ya lady. I'm 38 weeks pregnant with #2 and ouch! Both of my babies are strong ones.
-
N definitely did the same to me around that time and I thought it was just me. I felt like he was stabbing me or jamming his elbow into my side
-
Oh yeah, it feels so weird when she gets really active and I can feel her squishing around on my internal organs. Especially my bladder and my large intestine. It hurts so bad sometimes.
