Hey mom's!
Yesterday night, my toddler threw a tantrum and thought it would be fun to scream and kick like crazy. While doing that, she kicked my stomach repeatedly. It hurts pretty bad. Next day I woke up with a bruise on the side of my tummy and I feel sore all around the tummy. Called my nurse and she said that as long as I'm not bleeding and having any severe cramping. I've had 2 miscarriages in the past and I'm so scared still. Wasn't able to get in and get checked out for some peace of mind. She kicked me pretty hard and all over. My biggest fear is having something wrong and not knowing it. Any mom's had any similar situations?
Re: Kicked in stomach 18 weeks.
Toddlers are assholes.
this is something I am very concerned about. My 5 year old has high functioning autism, but often throws tantrums like this, and can be physically unsafe. When that happens there is usually hitting/kicking involved, and its most often directed at me.
i hope you can get some peace of mind. I'm guessing the nurse doesn't think your LO has enough strength/force to actually harm baby, even if you end up bruised and sore.

When I was pregnant with DD I slipped on a large patch of ice and landed belly first. I was in terrible terrible pain. My stomach was bruised and I was sore for a good week. I went in and got monitored. Everything was fine and baby was acting like nothing happened. The doctor reassured me that baby is protected so well that something incredibly horrible would need to happen in order for there to be something really wrong.
Take me care of yourself!
