Baby kicks - OUCH!

I'm 33 weeks and recently I've found the kicks I've experienced really uncomfortable, to the point of being painful.

She's never been particularly active, and I've had a lot of scares, so I should probably feel more grateful, but god, in the last week it feels like she's trying to burrow her way out of my side rib. She's breech at the moment, and her head is quite pronounced below my right boob. Sometimes it feels like she's pressing her head against them, at other times I can feel more normal kicks in my mid stomach, but always quite high, and nothing on the left hand side. Is this kind of localised and uncomfortable movement normal?

Ive not really felt any Braxton hicks, so worried I could be mistaking movement for contractions.

Movements are something else! My little one has been a squirmer since I could feel her and tends to favour my right side. Little activity on the left but I have no idea what way she's lying.

BH seem to present differently for everyone. Mine is just a tightening across my whole stomach making it solid. No pain at all though. Others feel like period pains, but they've always felt different to movements for me.

I'm 30 weeks and Iv found this last week the somersaults are knocking me sick! I know we shouldn't complain but bloody hell sometimes it's bizarre.

I'm 32 weeks and literally cried this evening for the same reasons: it's really taking it out of me, being knocked about from the inside. I could've written your exact post, so yes, that's entirely my normal: but occasionally she's also kicking really low down in my bum!!!
