Getting Kicked While Pregnant?

I got punched really hard in my stomach when I was 4 months along with my 1st baby. She's almost 11 now. :)
I would be worried too, but most likely, everything is just fine.

If you aren't having pains or bleeding you are probably fine. For peace of mind, call you doctor and see what his/her professional opinion is.

I was told by my Doc that even if I was to fall down hard on my belly onto pavement I'd probably be OK. Fact is, it's pretty hard to dislodge a pregnancy unless it's already fragile and at risk. A hard kick to the belly in bed by a child should be alright, honestly. You probably feel weird because it's psychologically disturbing as well as physical. Try not to worry, and go get it checked (just for peace of mind to hear heart beat when able, I know it's fine)

You are most likely okay, the baby is still so, so teeny, all the tissue in your uterus is acting as extra strong bubble wrap :)
But if you are stressed and a doc appt would make you feel better, then do it.

At this point in your pregnancy - there is enough "stuff" to act as a buffer/insulator - so since you are not bleeding - I think you and the baby will be fine.

The more you stress over it - the higher your blood pressure will be - so for your sanity - stop thinking about it. I know - easier said than done. But really....the stress you are putting yourself through is worse than the kick you sustained from your son...

It is you being paranoid. At 10 weeks the baby really isn't big enough to be harmed by a kick from a four year old.

My younger son was in full night terrors when I was pregnant with my youngest so I got kicked a lot, all over the place. She is fine.

You're fine - that baby is nestled in there really well! Our bodies do an amazing job of protecting a growing fetus.

I was about that far along when I fell in our shower, I was a nervous wreck. I did call my OB/GYN but he could tell that I was so nervous he told me to go down to the ER to get checked out (if i wanted). That only made matters worse b/c I wasn't far enough along for them to be able to detect a heartbeat w/the machine they had down there so I was really flipping out. I should've listened to my OB/GYN, my husband & the 5,000 other people I had asked before. It is enough to worry about when you are pregnant w/things going on, but we have to be true to ourselves....the things that we put our bodies through during the entire pregnancy that could cause some type of issues. My oldest was almost 6 when I was pregnant w/my 2nd, how the hell was I supposed to not pick her up at all??? Really, or how was I not supposed to carry something that was over 10 lbs. If it would make you feel better, then by all means, I would go, that's what I would do and I still do, especially w/my children, I'd rather pay a co-pay then to worry about something I don't have to. As far as the baby goes, I would imagine that everything is okay as long as you aren't bleeding, but that is something you have to decide. If it will put your mind at ease, then go. As one of the other mama's mentioned, you are only going to contiune to worry which will raise your bp which isn't helping. Best of luck to you.

I do think he will be fine. You can call the doctors office to put your mind at ease. Our 100+lb dog jumped on the bed landing on my preggers belly. It scared me badly but nothing was wrong. I did not feel any pain and there was no bleeding. It is a distant memeory. Just call your doctor and ask them what to do. Perhaps they can see u on Monday to put your mind at ease.

If it'll make you feel better, call your OB"s office and get a nurse call back.

Your M. is right. No need to go to the ER unless you develop bleeding or painful cramping. Being kicked by a child is less forceful than an adult and is highly unlikely to effect a first trimester fetus. The uterus is still very thick and the baby so small that the impact is minimal. Your abdomen may feel sore today, so take it easy. My kids crawled in bed with me too when I was pregnant and so I usually just grabbed an extra pillow to hug over my abdomen just in case.

Definitely talk to your doctor tomorrow. I would think you need to hear reassurances from your professional, even though most of us who have had such experiences think you're absolutley fine. I encourage this because, if you don't, you'll think anything that might happen in the future may have been caused by this and I wouldn't want you to have to worry at all. All my best.

The baby is so well protected by the fluid surrounding him/her that it takes a lot more then a kick by a 4 yr old to do any damage.
Look in the phone book and see if there is a service you can call. Here we call 'Nurse Direct' it's free and you get connected to a nurse to ask questions and get advice.
I'm sure you and the baby are fine but peace of mind is always a good thing.

That sack is pretty protective, but if you have any worries, go get checked to be sure. Stress can be just as bad for your pregnancy....so ease your mind....and best wishes for your comming arrival.

Blessings....

I wouldn't go to the ER, especially if you're not bleeding. They can't do ANYTHING for you either way...except possibly hear a heart-beat. You'll just have to wait it out, but as everybody else already said--you're probably fine! :-) I hope you start to feel better soon!

I'll chime in with everyone else just to ease your mind further. i have a 1 year old and we are due again in Feb. I get punched kicked, head butted, jumped on ect just about every day. Baby is fine. At 10 weeks your little bean is so small and there is so much protecting him/or her that there almost no way a little kid could cause any harm.
