Do baby kicks kind of hurt?

melaniedel · March 2011

Sorry if this is a silly question, but I am FTM2B. I feel little pangs, similiar to what I thought was round ligament pains, but they are more toward the middle and not the sides. The kick do not feel like that though, right?

TIA!!!

Mine have never hurt except when I was very far along (like 35-36 weeks) and even then generally they didn't, only occasionally if it was a really powerful one.

I have a LO baking that I swear should teach kick boxing, so when she kicks...ouch!

I'm surpised I don't have bruising all over my stomach. Lol.

But if you are worried, there is no shame in calling up your doctor and asking.

HAHA!! Only when it's a kick or a jab in the ribs. If you have an active baby, like both my boys were, they'll get ya good! hehehe

But it's not painful.

at 18 weeks I would be suprised if they hurt as much as RLP, I dont think it should be that painful especially for the first few kicks you are feeling, however, kicks directly to the bladder or other organs can be quite uncomfortbale

I get something like what you're describing. It's not kicks but to me it feels like baby has shifted or pushing on one part of my tummy.

I've gotten little pangs like that too but I'm pretty sure it's just our bellies stretching. I THINK I've felt some kicking...it literally feels like there's something in my belly like punching from the inside out.

I know it's so strange. My doc warned me that I will be feeling a lot of different things in my stomach. It's not really painful (like I bent over in pain after a few RLP),but quick jabs, and they do not tickle. lol Oh well, I guess I'll know when I know? lol Thanks ladies!!

to me it feels like pressure. It lasts a second or two and will be a few minutes a part. Not really painful, but pressure...

Even his strongest kicks don't hurt, they almost tickle sometimes. I think I'd chalk it up to RLP.

I am pregnant with my second. With my first I never had any kicks that hurt. At first it was like a flutter. They do get stronger, but it never hurt.

In my experience, not at 18 weeks. DS was a VERY active in belly baby. Really, really active. And it got painful after 28 weeks.

I would expect you to be more at the tickle stage than painful- but yes later they can absoultely hurt. Even now (i'm 22 weeks) I've had some that were less than pleasant. I would ask your dr. though just in case you are feeling something else.

At 18 weeks, no they should not hurt. I imagine you're feeling RLP if you're experiencing pain. Later on, they may hurt. I guess it depends on your baby. DS was very active and his kicks and movements were absolutely painful in the third trimester. But I see a lot of ladies on here saying their babies' kicks weren't painful. So you'll just have to wait and see on that one, I suppose.
