Is This Baby a Kickboxer? Sure Feels Like It!

edited June 2011 in Pregnant
So today we were at my 23 week checkup and the doctor wanted to listen to the heartbeat with a doppler. As she's listening, she asks, "So, is the baby moving?" Just as she asked, our little baby boy walloped me hard a few times and the doctor could hear it through the doppler. She laughed and said, "Nevermind, he's obviously very active." all I could think was... YEP, I KNOW!

I swear I have Jean Claude Van Damme in my belly. He's kicking and rolling all night and throughout most of the day. it is an awesome feeling, but nervous about what is to come as he gets bigger and really gives it to me.

So, my fellow pregly ladies, how active is your little one? Any bruises ;)

  • My baby kicks like crazy, and he/she just stopped hiccuping. I swear baby hiccups for at least 10-20 minutes as I'm trying to fall asleep. Lol had to look it up to see if it was normal, kinda concerned me.

    He/she also seems to kick more when I'm super happy, its cute. No bruises though thankfully.
  • @momtobe19 that is awesome. It's an amazing feeling, right? How far along ate you?
  • My baby is very wild! LOL! I'm 35+4 and I think he's running out of room. I feel a few kicks here and there, but mostly I feel elbows, knees, and his butt! :)
  • That is funny and adorable @mya218. Does it feel a lot different compared to the late 2nd trimester kicks? I can't wait till I can differentiate body parts.
  • I'm 31 weeks and 5 days. It really is amazing, I love knowing they're ok maybe even enjoying themselves :-D
  • @momtobe19 wow, you are getting closer! Yes, its good to feel the activity and have reassurance all is well. I think they are all having a blast in our bellies!
  • Lol probably! I am very excited lol, this last trimester seems to be going by sooo fast. It has been wonderful all around though. How far along are you?
  • @momtobe19 that is great to hear time is going fast for you now. I'm just 23 weeks, still a way to go!
  • That's more than halfway there :-)
  • I know, just have to keep telling myself that. Seems like I have so long to go, yet @momtobe19
  • My little one *was* kickboxing...now that he's getting bigger (I'm 32 weeks) he seems to enjoy hanging out in my rib cage and sticking his little ass outwards. I don't really get jabs/punches/kicks anymore, mostly just rolls and stretching. It feels odd lol
  • I mean no offense or to come off as like inconsiderate. But my baby boy moves so much sometimes It feels as though he is having a seizure. It sometimes worries me.how much he moves. But I keep being reassured a moving baby is a.healthy baby so that makes me feel a lot better :) but yes I'm 27 weeks and have felt kicks on the outside since about 17 and a half weeks. He is crazy in there I just watch my baby boy roll and tumble and stretch and punch and kick the snot out of me all day lol :X
  • @mam082711 that must feel so strange. I bet you're getting excited for the big day! I think I'm just nervous about when he gets biggest and him kicking my organs, but you're right, they don't have much room to sprawl.
  • @kbg10 no offense taken. that is awesome that your little one is so active. it means it is a healthy baby and like everyone always tells me, enjoy your belly, it is a special time :)
  • I was just thinking ...man...she is sooo active i feel her constantly!!! All day i fell her.. idk when she even sleeps!
  • I'm 18w5d and my baby is soooo very active. Moves all day long, and I love it. I find out what I'm having Tuesday, I hope my lil one cooperates.
  • @kbg10... yea the all the activity worries me too sometimes ..after reading the umbilcord getting wrap around them :(
    And if it were seizures i dont think it would b movement constantly ...my nephew 1yr just had a seizure it was only for a few mins then stop...and they dont move all crazy...more like a twitching ..so lets not worry so much and enjoy it :)
  • Lol thanks guys yeah I love him moving its just crazy how much he moves. I don't know when he sleeps lol unless he moves while he is sleeping lol
  • My lil guy is playing soccer with my insides! I'm only 22 + 5. I'm in for so much trouble.
  • @liloneontheway yes I can't wait to meet him :X
  • @Beatrice1436 maybe she doesn't sleep? ;)
  • @MrsWilliams wow, you must be so excited for Tuesday. Keep us posted. Do you want a boy or a girl (any preference)? Good luck!
  • Uh ohhhh @potato - I do think it is a sign of things to come. Does your little one get more active when you eat certain things? My baby goes crazy whenever I eat spicy food or fruit smoothies.
  • Lol yeah my baby is very active as well! I'm very happy about that and at the same time whenever he or she kicks I'm scared my water may break because kicks r so rough! Lol
  • @LilOneOnTheWay found out its a BOY! Yay
  • @mommyof3tobe that is great that your baby is so active, too. My doctor says that it is a good sign if the baby is active, so take the blessings as you can and try not to worry too much! I bet your baby is happy and healthy!
  • @MrsWilliams oh my! Congratulations to you! Are you super excited (now you can start shopping for boy stuff, hee hee)? I'm having a boy, too. Lots of testosterone on Pregly!
  • my baby doesn't kick that hard only every once and a while its like on and off there out the day some data he only kicks a little at night but not a whole lot...
    ...
    the way you guys explain the kicking worries me that my little man ain't kicking enough i used to feel like he kicked more
  • @paige11 don't worry, every baby is so different. How far along are you? It seems like the further you are the less kicks because they have less room.
