Painful movements?!

[BumbleNova]

I'm 31+2 and I feel like I'm being manhandled every time baby moves ATM? It's pretty painful. Is this normal?

I'm 38 weeks and I get a shock everytime baby moves because it's so strong! Sometimes it's pretty sore and I feel like I'm getting battered from the inside!

Must be normal for some people. My daughter was in agony with her babies movements towards the end. She had a very wriggly and active baby with very strong kicks and movements and said she felt like she was being beaten up from the inside.
Funnily enough the baby is a very strong and active 9 month old now!

Yes, I have a very active baby and it is often quite uncomfortable/bordering on painful.

That's exactly how I feel! Being beaten up from the inside. Arrgh. Can't persuade baby to shift a bit to a more comfortable position. The things people don't tell you!

It's between about 28 and 34 weeks that your baby is of a good enough size that you feel them move, but they also aren't so big that moving is restricted, so this is when pregnant ladies feel the most movements and yes, absolutely yes some babies act as if they are on crack in the womb.

I’m 29+5 and feel the same way. Sometimes it takes my breath away when he kicks whilst I’m standing. He’s still in extended breech position so a lot of the big kicks are aimed towards my bladder and it hurts like hell. Occasionally I’ll be so fortunate he’ll kick my bladder full force and punch up near my ribs at the same time 😑
