I swear, the feet in my ribs, the punches all night, the squirms and turns...how am I going to last these last two months?

YES! I get really tired of the kicks, squirms and rolls. I'm 35 weeks and most of the time she HURTS...she kicks my bladder, my ribs, my cervix...she's just getting too big but she just keeps on moving. Not only that but my baby moves CONSTANTLY. I can't get a break. She'll stretch out inside me and when that happens I can't even bend! She'll do it when I use the bathroom and then I can't reach enough to wipe!!
Don't feel bad that you don't feel all warm and fuzzy everytime she kicks the junk out of your ribs. Some women LOVE the feeling...for me, I'm ready for it to be over! It's painful and annoying. The only thing I like about feeling her move is the reassurance that she's doing ok...but otherwise I'm not a fan.
yes, I know...booooo on me!

Has little one kicked your bladder yet? That was always fun! Now is the time to wear maxis or those Depends pads. If you drink anything with caffeine cut way back and don't drink any 2-3 hours before you plan to go to bed. Same with anything high in sugar. Those things get the baby moving a lot. You can also try napping in the afternoon, since the baby is mostly awake while you sleep this can help get babies energy out in intervals. Otherwise, enjoy it while you can cause at 2am in a few months you're gonna be wishing little on was back inside. :) I know it's rough the last couple months, especially now with it getting warmer out. Hang in there!

I wouldn't say that I'm annoyed by it. This morning baby was putting pressure on something that really gave me a pain in the butt. So, I joked with my hubby about that. This is my first baby and I'm 36, so I'm just so happy about finally having one that all the little jabs, pokes and turns seem amusing to me. I feel tired a lot and that's annoying me more than anything. I like to have energy and get things done, but now I have to nap every afternoon again. Like they say, two more months and you'll be holding the sweet little baby in your arms and everything will be worth it. My hairdresser told me the last time I was there, how much she wishes she could feel those little kicks just for one day because it was so cool. Hang in there. :)

You'll miss the closeness you have with baby once he's out! My son sometimes appears to be in my ribs and I'll call him a troublemaker and rub on that area until he moves. I have about 5 weeks left to go and I can't believe how quickly the time flew! You'll feel the same way too. As for the squirming...it still freaks me out sometimes, but I've learned to enjoy it because I know my baby is healthy.

I understand how u feel. In my time, I was even trying to give return kicks but of course, my baby was enjoying all of it.
Just take solace in the fact that the remaining time isn't as much as what has passed. Also think of that little bundle of joy U'll soon be holding in ur beautiful hands.
It may help to try touching gently and firmly the spots where the little one is kicking. In this way, it'll feel ur hands and move away from there. You should also take walks when u feel like it.
Don't think of it as stressful, enjoy it while it lasts. This is one of the most joyful aspects of womanhood, enjoy it!

I know it can be very painfull at times. Just hang in there and when you feel so much movement that is hurting try to rub the spot. I noticed when I gave my babys foot or arm or whatever a little soft rub that she calmed down. Also the movement should be slowing down towards then end since there is less room to be moving around. Good Luck!

Sometimes when the kicking is really strong I wonder if my baby girl is trying to kick a hole through my stomache, but most of the time I love watching my belly move. I dont really get annoyed with it. I enjoy it. I'll miss it when I have her, but I'll be more than happy to be able to hold her and kiss her.

Same here...I'm due anyday now and i've been fed up with all the movement for a while. My daughter is very active, i think more than other babies because everywhere i go she gets attention and everybody wants to look at my stomach at all of her movement. I'm so ready to meet her tho.

i get annoyed too. I'm 33 weeks and my little one hasn't found my ribs but she loves my hip bone. if there is a bright light on in a room she pushes in the direction of the light. i usually just rub on whatever is sticking out and she calms down.
