Stronger Kicks!

First off all I have felt my LO move ALOT this whole pregnancy.(well actuall kicks since the time your suppose to feel them) they have always been strong. I am very small. People still don't notice I'm pregnant half the time.  Since last night it just feels like the baby is literally going to kick through my stomach! The kicks are so hard it almost hurts! Ive been told that I'll prolly make it to about 36 weeks due to how little I am, and now I'm starting to really believe them because I don't see how in this world he can get any bigger!!! Is anyone else feeling this way?

Re: Stronger Kicks!

  • I feel like my baby is putting his feet on my spine and trying to stretch to full height and come out of my belly button.  Someone posted a scene from Aliens one day, and yeah, it looks like that.  At the doctor today, he kept kicking when they were trying to measure his heartbeat.  The doctor asked if I was ready for my active baby to get here yet.  Yes and no :)

  • I feel the same way. I'm 33 weeks and people don't believe me when I say I'm due in June. His kicks and moving hurt now. And, especially when he stretches out and uses my ribs as his leverage!!! My stomach is so tight that I don't see how he or I can get much bigger!
  • I've had a few kicks that were painful and I did not think were so cute any more. They've woken me up a few times where I've thought, "I wonder if anyone's baby has ever broken through their stomach."

    But now, I am noticing that while I'm feeling more movement, I'm feeling less kicks and more pushing, stretching, and general moving around. This baby is running out of room in his short-torso-ed momma pretty quick.Every once in a while I catch a pretty good kick or punch, but definitely not as often as even a couple weeks ago!

  • Oh, yes.  Baby is sockin' it to me on a regular basis.  He's very energetic in the morning when I wake up, mid-day, afternoon and when I'm on the couch at night.  He loves to scraaaaape something down my lower right side.  And as previous posters have written, he pushes his butt against my ribs which is really painful.  He is POWERFUL.  And it's only getting worse.  I don't think he's stronger than most babies-I'm sure most babies kick the hell out of their mamas, but he is stronger than I ever expected.  I think it's going to be so fun to watch him stretch and kick when he's on the outside!!

    (I'm a glutton for punishment-the large carmel frappacino that I'm drinking right now is going to get him very worked up....) 

  • OMG yes!

    I was standing next to DH the other day saying how LO was super active...he didn't say anything, so I looked at him to see if he was paying attention to me and his eyes were huge.

    He was seeing my belly roll and was like WOW! I think it was one of the moments where it hit him that he is doing to be a dad really soon...it was kinda cute, you know except for the pain of the stretching of my stomach due to no more room...So ready for my due date...if I make it that far.

  • Ha, I just posted a post very similar to this one. My belly is so HUGE and the kicks are so hard that everyone can see them. He's so strong already and I'm only 31 weeks!
  • I completely agree!  This LO isn't quite as active as my other 3 were, but when he gets to pushing in there, he really pushes.   I feel him moving the most in the morning and night, some in the afternoon. I know that this LO is running out of room, even more when the ultrasound tech & Dr. say that he is a "big" baby.  I am just hoping to make it to the 37 week mark & then if he thinks its time to come then I am all for it.

  • I definitely feel it, and I feel the same way, can this go on for another 2 months! My husband was in shock when he felt it the other night, could not believe it! I think I may be more of an early June arrival, for some reason, I'm getting that feeling! Perhaps it's because of my short torso, and not believing that it will stretch even more- I just don't see how!

  • About a month ago (31 weeks ish?)  I felt like the kicks progressed from adorable lil flutters to wild jackal ninja level.  It was pretty surprising because it felt like it happened over night.
