My 3 year old kicked me last night in my belly....?

Question

it was an accident but it was pretty hard i feel a little sore today, should i be concerned? I'm 36 weeks along.

Answer 1

since you are 36 weeks, I am pretty sure the baby is probably too big to be in much real danger.  Your uterus walls are pretty thick to protect the baby.  The main concern would be bleeding due to the placenta detatching... i would call the nurse and ask her if you should go in.  She will probably tell you to watch for spotting.  

Answer 2

hi, as long as there is no bleeding and everything seems fine, you should be fine. your baby is in a sack of water which is well protected. good luck and congrats.

Answer 3

i would go see your doctor just incase something is wrong

Answer 4

No you should be ok so far, You baby is bigger now and probably didn't even feel a thing. If you are soar call the doc office and ask them what you should do. But be on the look out for any change in d/c, bleeding or fluid leak.  

Answer 5

Umm..  Not sure why people are telling you it's ok...  I was just hospitalized for a few days, for a light fall on to my belly...  I was 36 weeks, and the doctor and nurses were VERY concerned aboout placental abruption, or or some other damage to the placenta, as well as a uterine tear..  I wasn't sore at all after it, nor was I bleeding..  However the minute I called I was told to get in immediatly, and my docs are pretty laid back..  It's a good think I DID go in, even tho I was okay, the his HR was erratic, and I didn't even realize I was contracting a ton..  Needed meds to calm any action down as I did not want to deliver at 36 weeks...  I didn't even know all this was going on till I got on a monitor. :-/

Answer 6

My 7 year old kicked me in the stomach at 12 weeks, on purpose, and I was very sore and even cramped for a few days, I went to the hospital and they told me that the muscles in there were just bruised and that I could have fallen flat on my stomach and the baby would have been fine, because there is a lot of protection in there. My baby is fine. If you feel that you need to go to your doctor then you should go, but I just thought hearing this would make you feel better. I hope everything is ok with your baby!! Good luck!
