Loving Those Kicks! Our Readers Write!

I am 24 weeks pregnant with boy/girl twins and can certainly relate to Kim! I have two older sons and nothing they ever did prenatally could compare to the activity that these two seem to accomplish in utero. I, too, have one that stays stuck in my ribcage while the other feels as if she could fall out any minute. Their kicks and movements are so strong that they literally stretch my uterus when they are particularly active, which can be quite painful. It is such a special time that even through the discomfort I am reminded to count my blessings.

I am 25 weeks pregnant with twins, and because of their positioning I will often have one of them hitting my bladder and the other kicking my ribs. Sometimes it can be unpleasant, but mostly it is a lot of fun feeling all of the squirming and knowing that all is well with my babies. My husband loves feeling all of the little wiggles too. For the first little while he couldn't feel anything because as soon as he would put his hand on my stomach, the baby would stop moving. Now they move almost constantly, especially when I'm hungry or when I first lay down at night.

I'm 21 weeks along. My baby likes to move a lot when I'm sitting or lying down, but recently when I'm up moving around too. When daddy goes to feel for the movement, baby stops! Disappointing to him, but there will be lots more time!!

Dad simply doesnt believe it is happening. Baby girl kicks like a wild horse in a rodeo but not when dad is checking.

I am 21 weeks pregnant with my 1st. I am loving the experience and both hubby and I can't wait to meet our child. I have felt mild kicking/moving now and then for a few weeks but last night I had over an hour of kicks that shot small pains thru me. I tossed and turned hoping that the sharpness of the feeling would stop but not the kicking. I am thinking I have more sensitive nerves in my uterus than I should, or that maybe my body interprets the info wrong. I still loved the feeling even though it wasn't exactly comfortable, it reassured me that I have a strong healthy baby.
