My baby is kicking this morning. It's been a healthy pregnancy with the few problems I've had being related to what seems to be pinched nerves. The one spot that had been bothering be since week 10 seems to have gone away, but a new one has come in its place, and the new one is worse. This numb, achy spot is about the size of a medium potato and is located along my ribs just to the right of my diaphram. It aches constantly and hurts if so much as a drop of water hits it. At times the pain surges as though someone has suddenly punched me with a fist covered in hot pins. It's quite distracting when that happens, but less so when I'm not worried about it. I've had this achy, surging pain for about 5 days now. My midwife said if it didn't improve in the next day or two I should come in and run some tests, but most likely it's just pinched nerves or pulled ligaments. A number of women I've talked to said they had or had heard of similar pains and that they were related just to moving muscles or baby being in a new position. Maybe it's time for some yoga to try to convince baby to move off that nerve and find something else.
