Yesterday, after an NST my little girl would not stop rolling, kicking, punching, and pushing/stretching out in there. Today she's not as active, which is normal for her, she's not rolling around but she's kicking. My stomach actually aches and hurts to the touch. Is this happening to any one else here? It's the first time it's actually hurt the next day.
Re: The day after a very active little one.
This is me, too. LO was head down at my last appointment and I think she's still that way because my ribs are really taking a beating. Sometimes at night it feels like I've been doing ab workouts thanks to all her kicking and moving around.

Yep, this is pretty much me, all day, every day. This boy is super strong, moreso than his brother, and my belly always feels bruised on the inside. Depending on where he kicks, I sometimes get a burning sensation in certain spots too.
It'll lessen around 37/38 weeks, when they get super big and completely run out of space. Until then, I'll just try to change position frequently to keep him comfy in there.
I am eternally greatful that he seems to be so low that my pelvis is taking the brunt and he is for the most part leaving my ribs alone. I have hypermobile joints and have always had a lot of issues with my ribs when they flare up.. so I was dreading what pregnancy and LO were going to do to them.. touch wood..I wont get 6 cracked ribs like my sister did
