lol... mine weren't hard kicks until now...I'm almost 28 weeks and they are getting harder and harder each day. Yikes!!! Feels like the kid is dancing on my bladder and punching my ribs at the same time! My doctor just had me start counting my kicks and the first day he had me do it was Saturday and I had 96 kicks, and yesterday I had 146. And I only counted the ones that were hard.

my problem is going to be a little more strange. I can't STAND having anyone touch my bones, especially my collar bone *shudders at the thought*. So when baby does, I'm probably gonna hate him/her when s/he comes out! I can already imagine myself constantly pushing down on my belly to get it to stop, but of course I know it won't work

maybe it won't be that bad. I'm pretty weird about people touching me too, but I dont mind my husband and I don't mind the baby. Its a pretty cool feeling I think.

yea, the paper they gave me said that if there are less than 4 kicks in a half hour to go to the hospital. I def. don't have that problem, but I wonder if there could be toooo many kicks in that time frame. I usually get between 45 and 60 in a half hour. It's like one right after another. Crazy!!!

I would say that this is pretty normal, Ilovemyfishes, because I am 35 weeks pregnant and junior he was very active at 20 weeks but I couldn't really feel them as strongly as I feel them now and boy oh boy are they something. But I love it!!
