Sore & tender spot on bump?

julietz · Sep 29th, 2010, 10:59 AM

Hi all, I was wondering if any of you have a sore tender spot on your bump, i have one at the top of my bump that is tender to touch like a bruise, i havnt knocked it but was wondering cos baby is doing a handstand, is it possible cos she kicks the top of my bump with her feet mostly, could this bruise the inside of my tummy, or should i be worried about it?

I had something like this yesterday, it could be a bruise if your LO kicked hard, but mine is because a really bright stretchmark appeared in a couple of hours and stretched my skin so fast it really hurt and is sore, try moisturising it, and if that doesn't work it's probably just a big baby kick

Yes I have this, my midwife says it was when baby was breech and it was the pressure from the head. Not sure about that though as baby has now been head down for weeks and I still have it...it is strange, very tender! I don't think its a problem, just uncomfortable! x

I have had this for over a week. Is it like a burning pain and it's like just under your boob? It got really bad lastnight n I looked it up and the Internet said it could be a sign of preeclampsia...great! I went to the delivery ward (it wasn't preeclampsia, you'd have other symptoms like swollen hands and feet, being sick, migraines and really blurred vision, high blood pressure and protein in ur wee)

The midwife checks all of that at your appointments so don't worry like I did, they seemed to think it was just stretching and maybe the baby got it's foot stuck in my ribs for a bit n the pain has just stayed.

Don't worry but it does really hurt doesn't it?! Xx

Yes it rly does hurt, especialy with me getting over a cold and every time i cough, it hurts also noticed tonight when i ate my tea it hurts to, seems everything that goes past it, and touch hurts, thats why i thought it may be bruised under my breasts, rly uncomfortable, but il defo keep an eye out for any other signs you mentioned, i had low blood pressure when i was at the docs last week, had no headaches, or swelling, so fingers crossed its just bruising from baby.
