I'm 29 weeks pregnant with my first and everything is great. She moves alot and sometimes its painfull down low. Maybe my bladder? This is all so new to me, but I'm very excited! Her daddy is too, but she stops kicking whenever he wants to feel or see.

I am 21 weeks and I'm not sure if my baby is kicking my ribs or has his feet lodged in there b/c it hurts. most of the time, the kicking lasts for 20 minutes. the kicking is random and comes and goes so I'm not really sure what's going on in there!

I am 24 weeks pregnant with twins. First pregnancy and let me tell you, these 2 are acrobats! She is down low and kicks the bladder and overies, and he is up higher and kicks everthing else. I am only 5 ft tall so they are seriously fighting for room in there. Neither one wants me to sleep on either side at night and both of them let me know. No sleep, no sleep, no sleep, for either of the two kids or for mom either. I am afraid of what is ahead, but I am sure the Lord will see me through, he has carried me this far. Good luck to everyone!

I'm 24 weeks pregnant with twins. I have been able to feel them kick since my 11th week. But recently they have been active as a couple of naughty monkeys. They punch, kick and jab each other and I just get in the way. One hides behind my rib cage and hits one of my ribs that has a little extra elasticity than the others so it jumps out farther. All the while the other one lays across my stomach and punches my kidneys or goes after my belly button. But the worst part is that I get no rest from them. While one's active, the other is sleeping. Then for about an hour at night when both are up at the same time I'm in the worst pain ever, but yet I watch my stomach move continuesly. Then the one that's been up all day goes to sleep and lets the other one wail the stuffings out of me. I get no peace. I'm terrified for the weeks to come. I'm sure its gonna become worse. Plus to top things off they're both boys. I'm in for a world of hurt!

I am in week 24 now with my second child. I don't remember there being this much acitivty this early with my first! I am kept up some nights (already) with the jabs and kicks. I can see my stomach moving a lot of times too. I'm wondering what it will be like in a few months.

I am 29 weeks but at 23 weeks and even now my son really kicks first thing in the morning and when I am hungry throughout the day. He even kicks after I eat. The only really uncomfortable things that occur is when he pull my belly button inward and when he lays directly under my rib cage.
