Fetal Movements that hurt

So I'm 30+5 weeks now.

Last night in bed baby kicked and I got a massive electric shock that made me sit up and yelp. It was bloody horrible. A quick google shows that this seems to be normal?

Just now, I've felt a couple of what I think are kicks just under my diaphragm and they hurt and took my breath away. Is this normal?

Yep. Wait til your further on and it feels like its standing on your internal organs. That hurts!!

I'm 30+6 and I've had two movements recently that hurt so much I actually cried out in pain! One was just to my right side and one just behind my belly button!

I've been getting these too but I don't think it's the baby kicking. I get them sometimes when I sneeze, cough or take in a deep breath. Feels like a shock but goes straight away.

Yep pregnancy number two and I don't remember any movements being quite as painful as I occasionally get in this one. Have to yelp out loud and takes a few breaths to calm back down...

Two of my dc were transverse till 38weeks, hurt like hell when they decided to do a full body stretch :(, am so pleased that I am done with pregnancy!

Absolutely!
Dc1 was still breech until 38 weeks and did a lovely turn of pushing hands up and feet down...
They also liked to grind their head along my ribs!

I'm so glad it's not just me first time round nothing hurt just uncomfortable toward the end this time round ive been getting painful movements from 28 weeks.

I was wondering if it's because I have what is described as a neat bump I think ds1 had my more space than ds2 does.
