Baby movement hurts

kd&cd · May 2014

Hi all! This has been going on for a few days now...when ever baby moves/stretches it really hurts. I keep telling myself it's normal because she's so cramped in there and plan on mentioning it at my appt on Thurs. I'm wondering how the movement & stretching is making everyone else feel...does it hurt, make you sore or no issues. TIA!!

Hurts every day... But it's worth it.

Yup! Today especially, he must have shifted.

I prefer to call it baby violence because movement is to tame of a word. So yes it hurts and it keeps getting worse.

It is definitely uncomfortable!

ashanne88 · May 2014

Same here. So painful and uncomfortable.

crhein26 · May 2014

Yup...definitely hurts. She's doing some crazy kicking and stretching in there which is in turn stretching my stomach and causing my skin to hurt. She usually is headbutting my bladder/cervix at the same time she is pushing her butt out and kicking me in the ribs, so I get the luxury of feeling pain in multiple places at the same time. I'll be 39 weeks tomorrow and am definitely ready to meet this little girl. However, I want to follow it up by saying I wouldn't trade this hurt in for anything. It means she's healthy.

Thanks ladies...I'm glad I don't have the only rough baby!! And YES it's totally worth it!

These kids are killing me. I'm convinced they're trying to break out a la Alien style.

ElTrain5 · May 2014

Yup. If this kid could hear me he would probably be so frustrated with me. Like "Ok, so I kick you and you're all like 'ow stop it!' And then I stop and then it's 'where did you go? Are you ok? MOVE!!' There's no pleasing you woman!"

irenewslee · May 2014

Yep definitely the alien style and karate kicks! My girl kicks at night too if I put too much pressure on the tummy or makes her feel uncomfortable. I told my hubby that we are expecting one demanding girl!

She used to bruise my ribs, but she's lower now so she mostly gets me in various organs. Head butting the cervix is the most uncomfortable. It feels like she's trying to escape.

CJnKR2014 · May 2014

Yep. These boys are crazy. They like to try to stretch at the same time. And baby A likes to kick my cervix all the time which hurts like friggin crazy.

RedMar · May 2014

I was told I have excessive fluid so baby has A LOT of room to move around!! Used to be nasty pains in my ribs, but now all the pressure has dropped and is toward my pelvis-bladder-cervix-assh*le @-)

babygabe614 · May 2014

Same here. This little girl is training for American Ninja Warrior in there or something. Constant ridiculous movements, kicks, rolls, punches... but like everyone else said - totally worth it.

Katieluc106 · May 2014

Yep it hurts I have bruising all over my belly. It is what it is.

PinkKEL9 · May 2014

Yep my baby has been hurting me for a few weeks.

Lindsleigh77 · May 2014

Same here as well

lizok22 · May 2014

Same here, my first baby was so quiet in there. This one never sleeps. It feels like a foot pushing out my sternum when I sit and constant rolling, wiggling. And when he is on my belly button, ow! I actually asked my doctor if too much movement was bad.

Susanrush13 · May 2014

I feel like my insides are bruised, esp on my right side where he likes to camp out. My fluid is at the high end of normal so he apparently still has a little room to stretch out and punch more areas

you're not alone!

MrsRahl · May 2014

I have major pain with movement. Like stabbing pains. Feels similar to RLP from first tri. I think my muscles just cant take it anymore. Youre not alone. PS that makes me think of the song "yooooouuu are noooot aloooone... I am hereeeee with yooouuu!"

ElTrain5 · May 2014

Every time someone says "but it's worth it!" I just replay this Wanda Sykes clip in my head...

By the way... My chiropractor recommends that I go see her about a month after delivery. She said its the best time to do any adjustments if needed. At that point the joints and bones are still soft enough. after that they will get hardened and will be difficult to adjust.

kcartwright12 · May 2014

Yep, all the time. I swear I have bruises on the inside and on my ribs. Some days it feels like he is punching my cervix trying to get out, while others he's kicking the tar out of me to break my water. Lots of fun. However, it will be missed. At some point.

Julie&Micah · May 2014

Yes! This one is so rough and causes so much pain when kicking/stretching. The wonderful joy now is that when he gets crazy active (and it's painful) it actually sets off contractions! Painful labor contractions! Pain on top of pain...it's been fun.

LaurelJoy91 · May 2014

When she tries to rotate her entire body it can be very uncomfortable to me. Multiple times H has looked at me and asked if I needed to go to the hospital, mistaking my pained face for a sign of labor...
