My right ribs feel bruised and senstive to the touch from the foot that's been lodged up in there for the past three weeks. When LO starts punching, my whole belly moves side to side and I have to literally stop what I'm doing and brace myself for the discomfort and pain.
I can't believe I spent so much time waiting for movement. Anyone else beat up by their baby????
Re: Painful movement!!!
I feel the same. The top of my belly is very tender to the touch even though LO isn't kicking there. But when LO kicks in other places it's painful as well... feels like LO is stretching out completely -- or trying to kick his or her way out of my side.
I know! It's not just kicking anymore, it's sticking body parts out and leaving them.
This.
Throughout my pregnancy I never understood how mommies could vent about this. After all, we spend so many weeks waiting to feel those first little flutters. But now I get it. There's just no room in there for all that monkey business! I'm not ready to evict LO yet, but I can see how women get to that point!
