Are the kicks supposed to be getting REALLY low and kind of painful?

[Taedareth]

I'm 30 weeks now and the last few days I've been noticing that the kicks (or punches..?) have gotten REALLY low - like at my cervix or right on the inside of my pubic bone. And it's extremely uncomfortable at times. Using the method my midwife taught us, DH and I have determined that (as of this moment) the baby's head is in the lower left quadrant and butt is in the upper right.

Are these very low/extremely uncomfortable jabs normal? Or a bad sign? I'm worried, and I hope it isn't this way the rest of the pregnancy.

Before my baby dropped a week ago she would kick and create some ver sharp peircing pains in my lower belly i think she was getting a nerve ro something but as soon as she turned around and dropped they stopped but now her feet are always in my ribcage. it is little easier to breathe now tho. If u are really concerned i say ask your midwife/obgyn.

Awww, the fist to the cervix. I know it well. :irked:

It'll go away when the baby gets fully head down and drops a it. Of course, then you'll have other complaints! :LOL

The last week before this baby went head down was awful. It felt like fingernails in the cervix. Not Fun.

It's normal! Uncomfortable for sure, but normal!
