Is it normal to have painful kicks?

Hi ladies!:blush: I am currently 38 and a half weeks and the baby is SUPER active. In fact, she is so active, it hurts. When she kicks or moves, it sends a sharp pain like a contraction and almost puts me in tears. Should I go to the doctors or is this normal since it’s almost the due date (August 18)?

You should be able to tell when you’re in labor. The pain is really intense compared to those strong little kicks which are a very good sign!

So normal. You want to start feeling it to be honest

I am being induced in a week and I know a couple days and baby’s almost 9lbs and I am going to be induced 2 weeks earlie . Very good sign

You might ne experiencing Braxton Hicks. “true” labor begins, you might have “false” labor pains, also known as Braxton Hicks contractions. These irregular uterine contractions are perfectly normal and might start to occur from your fourth month of pregnancy. They are your body’s way of getting ready for the “real thing.”

Normal . Just relax because Labor is hard and painful and after you will never get much rest as a mom

Omg! I actually got a few bruises from him rubbing his bony little heel against my tummy! Yes, the end is hard. But just think, soon baby will be jumping on you from the outside.

It’s so normal warm baths help
