31 weeks - how stong should the movements/kicks be?

i feel throughout the day, different movements.kicks but I'm just wondering should they be really really strong? its not like it hurts. im just worreid that maybe her movements/kicks arent strong enough?

Re: 31 weeks - how stong should the movements/kicks be?

If you feel her I wouldn't worry about it. I don't think they should be a certain strength... some babies are just less active than others. My mom said she hardly ever felt me when she was pg with me!

My is pretty strong b/c sometimes it does hurt, esp those kicks to the ribs or wayyy to the side.

I am 32 wks and have an OB appt today, I want to ask about that...I still feel all the time but it feels "deeper" I want to know at what point does it get tighter in there where I shouldn't worry...

I will be 30w tomorrow & have an OB appt this evening. I have to ask the same question bc my little guy is pretty much quiet but the kicks & movements I do feel are like little pokes

Re: 31 weeks - how stong should the movements/kicks be?

I know for me they feel stronger, almost like it's going to poke through and it also feels like it's shifting a lot more. But if you are feeling the baby move all around than that is all that matters!

With my , I'm not feeling really strong kicks. A lot of punches because they are low, but I also feel a lot of pushes....almost like he is stretching to try to make more room for himself.

Do they fluctuate? Sometimes I feel very soft little taps then other times I feel very hard quick kicks. I mentioned it to my doctor at the last appointment and he said the fluctuation was fine. He said it was very healthy. The strong kicks never hurt, but they do take my breath away sometimes, I'll grab my belly and just let out a big "WHOA"!
