Um yes they hurt!! Every little move was squishing my lungs or some other vital organ. At one point her foot was on top of my ribs sticking out! I went into labor at one a.m. The aderenaline will help keep you awake.

I definitely felt my son doing some more…spirited movements when I was pregnant. He also tended to stay in certain positions. Once when I was driving it felt like he was digging his feet (hands? who knows?) into my lower right pelvis. It hurt so much I almost stopped the car so I could lay down. I think it’s pretty normal.

And I agree with the previous post about the hormones and adrenaline. I went into labor at 4:30am (my water broke and I was very overdue, so my Dr. asked me to come in as soon as my water broke) and my son was born at 6:30pm. By 10pm my husband was EXHAUSTED but I was sort of wired. Hormones are powerful 🙂

Those last few weeks of waiting and the wondering of “will today be the day?” we’re hands down some of the most awesome days (in retrospect maybe ?) With the first I was bored and walking the dog was my biggest outdoor activity. With the second, I was excited but not in as much of a rush, knowing it would happen when it happened (luckily not 8 days late like my first!!). It’s such an exciting time of life! I went into labor at 6 pm with number one and was mostly too excited to sleep that night. I didn’t go to the hospital until 7 am and even then, didn’t have the baby until 7 pm. Missing out on that night of sleep and i was exhausted through two hours of pushing!! but who cares at that point!
With baby #2, u went into labor around midnight and went to the hospital the next day around noon. Baby was born around 6 pm. Now I am preggo with #3 and trying to cherish everything about it, even though I have felt awful most of the time so far.

My first lodged one of her body parts into my ribcage right at the beginning of third trimester, and left it there until she came out. My lower ribs actually stuck out farther on that side that the other. So yes, movements can definitely be uncomfortable, or even downright painful.

I went into labor at night with both of mine. With my first, I was running around ALL day long like only a crazy nesting pregnant woman can, and ended up leaving for the hospital at 9 p.m. on zero rest. I was wiped out by the time she was born at noon the next day!

My baby had her booty right up against my rib cage on the left side. That was pretty painful. I was just talking to my husband about this earlier today and reminiscing about how I used to try to massage her down so I could get relief there. It was the worst when I sat slouched like in the car or a booth at a restaurant.

I had an anterior placenta though so kicks and such weren’t too painful. I didn’t feel nearly as many movements as other women.

Good luck through these last weeks! The ticking time bomb feeling was the worst part of pregnancy for me!

I admit, I’m getting antsy for BabyHTP’s arrival too! I know the feeling though, because I was the same way with my baby. Anyways, I do remember some pains and discomfort towards the end. My little girl always had a foot right up under one of my ribs so I couldn’t sit in certain positions and when she’d kick up there it hurt! I ended up completely sleepless for weeks.. I didn’t sleep the night before because I was having contractions and the first night, I couldn’t bring myself to put her down and sleep… and on and on and on. I know everyone talks about how you’ll NEVER sleep again but if you’re easy on yourself for the first six weeks or so, you can just nap with the baby and recover like you deserve to. Think of it as the fourth trimester!

I definitely had some ouch moments. My son was 9lbs! (5 days late) and he would always get his leg or arm stuck in my right rib. Eventually I tried to “push” him with my hand to move haha

Ya man, they hurt! I’m only at 31 weeks right now, but for the last couple of weeks I’ve had definite discomfort… my girl is head down but still high up, and she likes to pedal her feet against the wall of my uterus in one particular spot, so often that it gets sore! It feels like she’s going to wear a hole through my gut (oh, how I wish I’d never seen Alien).

I felt the same way, I seem to feel every single movement to an extreme. I would cringe when I would drive over a speed bump in my final weeks. It all seemed to make sense when I met my 9 lbs daughter, she must have been “tightly packed” in my fairly petite frame.
Be mindful of getting rest and napping when you can. I labored through the night and was so thankful I had rested the day before because it got me through a very long night. People love to tell you to sleep now when you are pregnant, unfortunately it’s not a bank and you can’t save it up, but being well rested before you go into labor is invaluable , just be kind to yourself in these final days and weeks and try not to let the boredom and anticipation make you crazy. For me it finally happened when I stopped worried about when and how.

I’m almost 33 weeks along and I find his kicks becoming uncomfortable as well. I wouldn’t say they hurt yet but they definitely get uncomfortable when he hits certain spots. Especially when he kicks the same sensative spot 2-3 times in a row..

BTW can I have Maggie? She is such a cutie pie!! We could trade dogs for a week 😉 I have a super cute loveable beagle!

Yummm I’ve never tried soy creamy, but that looks amazing!

I totally feel the same way. I want to begin labor at the beginning of a day, not at night. And so that pretty much guarantees that if I get pregnant I will give birth starting around midnight to 1am. lol

When I had my second child, I was sound asleep, and sleeping like a baby when I sat straight up in bed at 2:30 am and knew I just had a massive contraction. My first thought was, “I really don’t feel like going in to labor right now.” But I did, and had my baby boy in my arms by 10 am. 🙂
