Movement.....

love4penelope

I know I could not wait to feel movement but now some of them worry me!!! There are times he moves so fast/so much that the only image I think of is Rocky when he?s training and punching the small bag hanging from the ceiling and he?s just punching it quickly with both hands!!!!! Is this normal?? I?m not sure if it?s hiccups or something else?.

Also ? anyone ever feel their belly get hard / tight?? There are times it feels like it gets really hard, all over, to the point where if I?m leaning forward I have to sit back until it passes. It does not hurt or anything, it?s more like uncomfortable or annoying depending on what I?m trying to do.

Yep and yep!  Our LO acts like a lunatic in there sometimes with the punches, kicks, and flips.  Also, it sounds like you are having braxton hicks contractions.  I get them probably a couple times a day at this point.  Everything sounds normal, but if you are still concerned, ask your doctor.

sounds just like me.

the baby has a lot of room in there so they can move all their limbs.  Youcan feel head, butt, legs, arms, elbows, knees - all of it.  As time goes by and space becomes sparse, you will feel less. 

and the hardness - totally get that too.  Sometimes I think the baby moved down while I was sitting or standing and then when I bend, I cant because the baby is in the way.  I usualy just press parts of my body to move her. 

It is fun.

I had a donut this morning (after getting sick on my healthy breakfast) and a couple of minutes later my LO kicked or punched really hard then danced around for a few minutes. My tummy gets really hard also, but I think it is baby butt wedged into my rib cage are or just below. It all sounds normal.
