Baby kicking very hard and fast?

Question

Okay I am not complaining, just concerned. I'm 33 weeks along with a very healthy baby girl. This is my first pregnancy, and I was wondereing if it was normal for my baby to kick so hard it hurts sometimes. During the day she moves all the time but usually just small movements or little kicks, but usually at night or later in the evening she will start kicking really really fast and moving all over the place. I can see her pushing out of my tummy. This dosnt indicate something wrong with her, does it? She's not getting angry or tangled up or something? She usually does this everynight and it goes on for hours. I havent had any problems or concerns from my ob through out any of the pregnancy, so I am assuming that what my baby is doing is normal!

Answer 1

It is perfectly normal. The baby is more active at night because all of your movement during the day rocks her to sleep. When you are laying down, it is party time. It can really hurt sometimes, I know. Just rest assured. Enjoy the amazing sight of little body parts sticking out. Just gently reposition her by massage or moving yourself if it is uncomfortable

Answer 2

You just have a very active baby. I completey understand what you are going through. When I was pregnant with my daughter, she was pretty relaxed in the womb, but loved to kick around all evening while I watched TV. Already a daddy's girl, she wouldn't stop kicking at night until my husband told her goodnight. I am now 26 weeks pregnant with #2, and I have a baby who is active ALL the time. Every day, it is bang bang bang on my tummy all day long. I have had many nights where I had trouble getting to sleep due to the kicking. As for seeing the kicks on your tummy, that is normal. Some moms can even see the shape of a hand or foot when baby is moving around :) As baby has gets bigger and has less room to move around, the kicks do hurt more. Baby isn't trying to hurt you, just playing or trying to get comfy in your belly :)

Yes, this is very normal. I'm 38 weeks and my baby kicks like crazy at night, pretty much the same way you described... I swear sometimes she's trying to get out. My biggest problem is that she has dropped and every time she moves her head I feel excruciating pain in my bladder almost like she's torturing me. I feel it worst when I'm sitting up or driving. On Saturday she was moving so much while I was driving and it hurt so bad in my bladder that I was in tears and had to stop driving for a while. Thank God I've only got a short time left..

My grandaughter is in her 37th week and she told me the same thing you said about the kicking really hard and fast movement, especially at night. I think that is normal for the baby to do that but you can cause some of it by what you eat and drinking too much caffiene during the day. Her doctor told her not to have but one caffiene drink a day. This is her first baby and we are anxiously awaiting for her little boy to be born. Good luck to you and your little one.

Answer 5

Yes it is fine..as long as your baby is active,indicates a very healthy baby girl...She is getting much bigger now and very quickly so there isnt much room anymore..this causes her to push and kick her way to be more comfortable...I noticed this with both of my pregnancies that at night my babies were moving like crazy and i could never get to sleep...they say this is your babys way of getting u used to those sleepless nights =)

She knows when u lie down its bed time and doesnt want that,she wants to sit up and play,during an active day when u are walking around etc..your baby falls asleep very quickly due to the rocking movement but later at night when u are resting its hard for her to sleep after getting so used to the rocking motion for sleep...(that is why babies love to be rocked after birth and swings)..all of these above are all normal things happening within you but as time goes by your little ones movements will not be as hard as they are now due to the spece provided...Good Luck!

Ooooh, you're in for a fun few months!

Chances are what is happening is the baby is waking up at night. When you move during the day, you are essentially rocking her. She's sleeping during the day, and she's waking up at night when the "rocking" stops.

This behavior will keep up for a while after she is born. Get as much sleep as you can before your due date! LOL

Congrats and good luck!

Answer 7

No. All it means is that she's very healthy. That's how I knew something was wrong with my preg. with my youngest daughter.
She wasn't kicking and moving like my oldest daughter did. When I went for an ultrasound they found she had VERY low fluid, and had to be delivered early via c-section at 33.3 weeks. Congrats!

Answer 8

Yes, it is normal. When you are up and moving around during the day, the motion of your body is basically rocking her to sleep. So when you lay down at night and are still, she isn't getting that rocking motion, and she wakes up. It also explains very plainly why babies tend to sleep during the day and want to be awake all night after they are born.

Answer 9

Yea for the hundreth time it is normal. I worked at Walmart as a cashier when I was pregnant. My son did that when I was at work. As soon as my feet hit the front door he started. He would get annoyed at the constant beeping sound. Okay who wouldn't when you was trying to sleep? My husband would wait until I was asleep and wake him up and play with him while I was carrying him. I'm a very dead sleeper so I wouldn't notice. Enjoy the peace and quiet because your world is about to change.

Answer 10

while you're far from comfortable, i promise the baby's more than comfy all snuggled up in your uterus. think about it, it's dark inside your uterus all the time. your baby can't tell if its day or night, and isn't sleeping on a schedule yet. she's just wide awake and is moving around like she normally would.
