Serious kicking going on! - Page 2

[Abraisme]

This all sounds totally normal.  I mostly feel movement on my right side (I think my baby is transverse for now), but sometimes it's up and sometimes it's down.  Your baby probably rolled into a breech position for a while, so you're feeling the kicks down low.

I think the tiny little kicks are wonderful.  I think my DH would like THAT part, but seriously he couldn't hang with pelvic pain, sore hips, nausea etc for 9mo.  He'd die!  ;)

This is my first pregnancy so it's all new to me; I have no idea what's common or not. Anybody else feel that halfway through the pregnancy the baby is a lot lower? I think my midwife said the baby will raise up higher in the uterus as she grows. I have pubic pain and pretty bad RLP, so she's not exactly in the best location while that's going on! Ouch. But, it's still exciting. My husband felt her kick a tiny bit the other day. It was so faint, he said it just felt like gas bubbles. haha. I wish the men could feel what we feel inside! It's so neat!

My DP still can't really feel our little RJ move. 22 weeks tomorrow. He felt him move the other day, but that's the only time. :(

This is my 3rd pregnancy. I have been feeling the baby since about 10 weeks and family has been seeing and feeling baby since 19 weeks.

I'm almost 25 weeks (monday) and DP can feel him move almost every night. We sleep so that his hand is on my stomach and he FREAKED out the other night when DS had a big stretch and the movement was very noticeable... Of course I had felt this several times before, but that was the first time that DP felt him move that much.

I am most shocked at how strong he is! He was weighing in at about 15 oz at 19 weeks when we had the ultrasound and the woman who was doing the ultrasound said that he has super long legs (my midwife was impressed as well by the length of them when we went last week and she was looking at the images)... But if I'm leaning forward and he starts to kick, I feel like he's about to break my lower ribs and several times I have been in pain from how hard he kicks / pushes / punches / shoves. I've begun to call him my little monster because that's how vicious he is.... Not that I mind while he's in utero though :)

FINALLY! I'm 22 week and in the last week, I've been feeling some faint movement a few times a day. So today, when I felt him move some, I laid on my back and put the remote on my stomach and he made the remote dance on my stomach. LOL I had missed that.

I honestly feel like this baby is a monster inside of me is trying to break my ribs... He's SOOOO strong. I haven't found anyone else that has experienced pain like this with their baby this early on... At 26 weeks tomorrow, I seriously can't imagine that I will make it the next 14 weeks without a broken rib (or 5)... I can lay on my back and just watch him punching and kicking around... Even DP is amazed at how hard he kicks when he gets to feel it... Anyone else experiencing this!!?!?!

Wow, that's pretty dang strong! Nope, my little girl is a weakling at the moment! (24 weeks along today) I hope in a few weeks I start seeing more of her movements! Hubby got to see a little bit one day but he doesn't have the attention span to sit around intently staring at my belly forever waiting for her to move again, so whenever he misses it, I think it discourages him. But I'm optimistic he'll be able to feel her more now that she's finally traveling around my belly a little bit more and not camping out in my crotch, lol. I'm feeling movement on both sides again and up higher for once, yay!

Birdyhappy85, that's how it is with my ex(who I'm living with at the moment). I know he would like to care more about this baby, but it's not his. I get him to watch my belly and feel and he says he missed doing that with our kids.
