Has anyone else experienced this? I’m due a c section next week but wow baby’s movements are PAINFUL and make me wince. Lightening crotch is real too! But I can physically see arms and legs pushing out my bump and so much pressure on my bladder/down below. Feel like she is having a game of twister in there.
Anytime she has a mad half hour I feel like I’m being beat up and it’s gone so far past the enjoyment stage now. people keep saying treasure it, enjoy it etc but I can’t wait to be able to see the kicks on the outside rather than feel them on my insides!

I can’t remember this with my first, but I have a posterior placenta with this baby and don’t know if that’s got something to do with it as zero cushioning at the front.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes and my last baby went to 42 weeks and he was 10lbs 13oz!! 😱 It was like an alien trying to break out, I remember how uncomfortable it was!! I'm now 23 weeks with a little girl and her movements are already strong and getting uncomfortable, but I know what I'm in for in 10 + weeks!! 😬 But yes it's very normal at your stage x
