Baby movements that are painful?

I'm 35 weeks 4 days and have been told from scans that baby is measuring big and I can really feel it. 4th baby and I feel like I can feel every inch of her, such a contrast with the other pregnancies. I almost feel like something is happening (like labour is imminent) when she moves. Very low down pains that are intense and rise up through my tummy into my ribcage. I've another scan tomorrow to measure her size and fluid volume but wondered, does anyone else find movements so intense? So many tell me the scans are inaccurate but do you think they are likely right as I can feel so much. I'm only 35+4 the last scan at 32 weeks showed baby had doubled in size from 28 weeks will be interesting to find out what the scan says tomorrow x

I'm pregnant with our first so don't have a lot to compare to, but this has been my exact experience from about 34 weeks ish. Can really feel everything, kicks are a bit uncomfortable, really know about it if baby moves around much. They said baby was about 7lb at 36 week scan. Now 38 weeks and really willing this little one to get out 😅

My 3rd DD was 10lb 10oz & yes I felt like this, especially pain in my breast bone where her feet where. When she moved it felt like my whole insides where turning with her! Although on scans hospital told me she was measuring small so didn't know what the pain was from

My eldest is almost 8 and I can still 'feel' the intensity of her shoving her feet about up my rib cage. It was weird and sort of painful, but not quite. It lasted a couple of weeks after she got in position then she came along. She wasn't that big but was quite long. I think it's pretty normal once they get tight on space

I'm having the same thing at the moment. I'm 36+1 and am waiting for a growth scan as the midwife thought last week she was measuring big.
I barely felt my first and he was only 7lb5, this time I can feel every inch of baby moving and it can be incredibly painful, especially up in my ribs. She also really favours my right hand side so my poor ribs there are battered!! I spend a lot of time with a hand pressed there to try and keep her feet away!

My second was unbearably painful by the end of my pregnancy. She was only 8lb 5, but scans thought she'd be more like 10lb.

At 2, she's incredibly strong and physical for her age, and keeps up pretty easily with her 5 year old sister and her school friends. Looking back, I think she just REALLY pushed against my muscles a lot and it caused painful braxton-hicks/muscle spasms. I often felt like my abdomen was on fire!

I’m 30weeks and expecting dc4 too! My goodness this is the most active lo and I’m finding the movements extremely painful, I was actually going to post to say I feel like I have internal bruising from it! I’m also well known to jump out of my chair and I’m forever making jerking motions in reaction to her movements! However in contrast I am having growth scans for expecting another tiny baby 😂
