Baby kicking my cervix? Reassurance please.

[Natzer]

I am 22 weeks and have been having lots of kicks over the past week/10 days which is really great, however in the past day or 2 it really feels as if the baby is kicking downwards towards my cervix and it is getting quite uncomfortable. It feels almost as if he/she is trying to find her way out already.

Is this perfectly normal?

Thanks

perfectly normal. My ds did this for, erm, the whole pregnancy. He was a footling breech in the end so he must have liked it a lot! It felt like I was having a smear test taken from the inside

Yes very normal, unfortunately!

Yep - had been having that for a while - turns out mine was breech too. Had a successful ECV on Friday and it's stopped - or rather, I'm being headbutted now :)

I have had it a lot in the past few weeks, I am 27 + 4. Had a midwife app today and apparently the head is down there so must be headbutting! Also likes hitting my bladder, very amusing for dh and co=workers, not so much for me! And the description by headfairy about the smear test from the inside is spot on! x

perfectly normal!! DS1 was breech and got kicked down there a lot but apparently this one head down at 28 weeks and still getting it!! Does feel like a limb is going to fall out your whatsit thought doesn't it

V. normal. DS loved to do it. That and push his head up under my ribs. He was in the breach position right up until the labour and birth. Setting a precedent for the rest of his life, where he can be quite difficult, but eventually falls into line.

Yep, I remember that too, thought the wee blighter was trying to kick his way out early!

for the last 10 weeks or so it felt like ds! and " were digging for freedom. quite un nerving but they both stayed put till full term.

yes normal. Really hurts sometimes doesn't it!

Thank you all so much for reassuring me, It was getting quite uncomfortable and I started to worry that something was wrong.

Yes, I agree it is just like having a smear

I guess I had better get used to it

thanks againx

Yes it is. I didn't have it with DS as he was transverse until 37 weeks but this time it feels like she is trying to escape and has been doing it from 20 weeks. Its really horrible, Also keeps banging into my colon too which is making me cringe!

Oooh I've been having that too! Very odd feeling! Glad to hear it's normal though!

I've been getting this a lot in the last week or so (I'm 33+2) mostly at night- it prevents me sleeping- quite painful and is coupled with baby headbutting bladder and makes me feel like I need to pee!

I had it with my last pregnancy too and it seems it can happen whether baby is head down or breech- oh well the things we put up with and DH's have no idea! ;-)

Me too! From about 19 weeks (now 22). Smear test from the inside out is exactly it.

and me, it comes keen sometimes lol.
