Is anyone getting pummeled?

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
I think its a little early for hiccups (I'm 21 weeks) but I feel him moving ALL THE TIME practically!! I was up at 3:30 this morning. Within 30 seconds he starts moving. I fell back asleep and woke up at 7:30 and again he was up with me. Its kind of distracting. I'd really have no problem doing kick counts if I had to, I feel at least 100 movements a day, even on a 'slow day' (yes there's only one in there). It feels like he only takes breaks of 10 minutes at a time. I guess this is what I get for spending yesterday up on my feet rocking him to sleep.

Me! My babe moves all the time too. Even the u/s tech several days ago commented on how strong the kick was that this babe gave her during the scan!

I would not say it is too early for hiccups. My babe got hiccups at 17w6d, and at 18w even I felt the first kick on the outside, despite being a fluffy mama. This is pregnancy #4 for me too, so I feel things pretty early. First flutters were at 11w.

I'm 37 weeks and the -only- reason I would say I am ready for her to come out it because of the kicking. Her nickname is "legs" -- she's been kicking non-stop all day/evening (sleeps a bit at night thankfully) since 28 weeks. Everyone comments on how they can see my belly moving if they look. -sigh- kicking HURTS.

I didnt feel hiccups regularly with her until maybe 32 weeks. They feel like muscle ticks.

Do you know if your placenta is posterior? The u/s woman said that because the placenta is to my back, she is pushed out in front and that's why I can feel her so much more. Makes sense, she's a little kicker. Same with pp, now it just hurts.

I'm not sure the exact placement of the placenta but I think its low on my left side. That's where I can hear it at least. He's got this new thing where he'll kick one or two times in one spot, once or twice a few inches over, once or twice down some, its all over the place! I think he's punching me too because I'm not sure he can move that fast sometimes, lol. It would be nice if he didn't kick toward my stomach after I've eaten though.

I'm 25w5d and I can feel baby moving constantly! Right now I'm still loving it but I can see how a strong kick to the ribs after 35 weeks could be painful.

Its strange getting strong kicks in the middle of important conversations because I find it so hard not to start rubbing my belly and getting excited. Or even just narrating the movements: "kick, kick, kick, punch - wiggle."
