Getting kicked in the ribs

OUCH! I have two little feet jammed into my ribs ALL the time! Sometimes
they are just 'pushed' up under my ribs on the left side and other times
it's WHAM! WHAM! right into my ribs as hard as she can kick. It can go
from an uncomfortable tickle to pain that has me nearly standing on my
head to get her to stop. Sometimes I give her feet a little push with my
hand to see if she'll stop, but to no avail. Mostly it's cute and
endearing and occasionally it's really awful.

I really laughed when I saw Tori's "rib dweller" reference to
Xavier.....I am going to start calling her "rib kicker", LOL!

I was feeling the same thing late in my pregnancy too -- and in one of
my last visits they did another US and it was reassuring in a way to
see two tiny little feet right where I thought they were.

They were cute but painful!

LOL I remember being in a meeting with my MD and a senior member of staff
when I was in late pregnancy with my DD. She kicked me so hard in the ribs
that I leapt from my chair with a huge shout. of ARRGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It
gave the others the fright of their life Rib kicks certainly can hurt
that's for sure.

Oh, yes, those rib kicks can get uncomfortable! Sometimes I push down
with the palm of my hand and apply constant pressure against the kicks
until he gets in a better position.

I read this after a night in which I lay awake for about two hours
because I couldn't get comfortable on my right side and the baby had
developed a sudden desire to kick me in the spleen whenever I lay on my
left, which was _really_ uncomfortable. Reading your post was one of
those "Oh, well, it could be worse" moments - at least he only does that
now and again!


All the best,

Sarah, LOL, it would take a doctor to be so familiar with anatomy to
know she is getting kicked in the spleen! I really got a 'kick' out of
that! giggles
