It can be hard to adjust to the changes in your body when you are pregnant. Everyone experiences things different. Many women enjoy it when they feel their baby kick, but it might feel annoying to her. She might not be used to having someone "in her space" or the kicking might cause an uncomfortable or unpleasant sensation to her. As long as the idea or knowledge of having this baby doesn't annoy her, I wouldn't be worried about it.

At four months along, she most likely would be feeling only bubbles in her belly and the kicks wouldn't be as strong, but everyone feels the kicks at a different stage and in a different way. I'm at 22 weeks and I absolutely love feeling her kick me, it's so comforting. Sometimes it's slightly annoying when I'm trying to sleep. But a couple days ago I didn't feel any kicking and I missed it so much (I also freaked out about it.) It sounds like your friend probably just likes to complain...or she's saying it just to be able to talk about herself and her baby. If she's really that annoyed by the small kicks she's feeling now...she's going to really be in for a surprise once her little one gets bigger and you can actually see the kicks from the outside of the belly.

I think she is probably just telling the truth. Some people enjoy being pregnant more than anything in the world, others don't. Some people have very hard pregnancies.
I personally did not enjoy being pregnant, but it did not mean that I didn't love my children when they were born or when they were still in my stomach for that matter.
My son used to kick my ribs so hard that I thought he was going to break them. Should I be saying, Oh that feels so good, just because I'm pregnant? There's nothing that felt good about it. Give the woman a break, pregnancy isn't all that wonderful all the time. That doesn't mean that she won't love her child.
It is really annoying when they start kicking in the middle of the night when you're trying to sleep too. Too bad men can't experience this.

I would say she was being annoying. It's a wonderful feeling when you start feeling your baby kick. And it reassures you your baby is healthy and active. Sounds like this woman wouldn't make a very good mother if she thinks kicking is annoying, just wait!
Sorry but I have to add in here that yes I was truly uncomfortable the entire pregnancy- but by all means, never once complained, because I was very happy to be carrying my child... but the kicking part- that made me happy- my husband too.. . yes it would be painful and hurt sometimes, but why sit there and complain all the time? Have fun with life! I think sometimes people who are pregnant feel they can complain more- it gives them more of a reason to do it... I just think it's quite annoying myself... suck it up, and move on, life doesn't get easier once you have the child- sleepless nights, colicky babies like mine was, teething... but the best thing that comes from it is the blessing you and your partner created. Sorry-but I don't think complaining will get you anywhere... and people I worked with and even my husband thanked me greatly for all the hard work I did without complaining throughout my pregnancy, it made me feel even better! (note I worked with a girl who was pregnant the same time as I was, and she complained NON STOP! lol So everyone would compare us, and many had bad things to say about her) Everyone is different though. Oh well.

Uh. maybe she meant annoying as in painful. Or hey i'm trying to sleep and the baby is annoying me with their kicks so i can't. Come on guys you're way too sensitive tonight. The kicking is the most joyful part to some people. To others it's painful. We've all been there at one time or another where we just feel exasperated at our pregnancies. We don't know in what context this was referenced. Should we be judged on every negative comment we made during pregnancy.

She's a pregnant woman going through typical hormone changes and normal feelings. If you had a little kid inside your stomach kicking you all the time, wouldn't you get annoyed too? That's all a part of being a parent. The big question is, how will she handle the child once it gets here?

Just because she's feeling very prego and is having a bad day or two, does, by no means, say anything in regards to her character ... she's just tired and hurting. If you had a little foot ... that's stuck in your rib-cage for a day or two, wouldn't you find it a tad annoying? It doesn't mean mom loves her little one any less. You probably ask yourself "How much can a tiny baby's kick hurt?" Trust me ... some of them can really smart. I used to snuggle up to the hubby, and the baby would kick sooooo hard that it would kick my hubby in the back ... and wake HIM up. It IS annoying sometimes .......

I would tell her she must either have a huge baby or some really bad gas. I just began to feel little flutters of my baby at four months and now.. I'm past 40 weeks and the kicks rarely ever hurt. I'm a small girl and have a huge tummy.. I'm thinkin big baby, but I have no complaints. She seems ungrateful.. I love feeling my baby move inside me.. She should be happy!

I agree. It was always a joy for me to feel my baby kick during the day but when it kept me from sleeping, that was a different story. But that was me. I don't think that she's a bad person. Some women just don't like being pregnant but are still good mommies.

i think that is a little rediculous see as she should be glad that the baby is healthy and moving. I do understand how it can get akward when the baby is going nuts esp at night time when you want to sleep but 4 months is a little early to be feeling this way, tell her to wait a couple months when the kicks are so powerful you can see it through your shirt or the baby decides to poke her in her ribs.
