baby kicking rectum?

Question

I'm 19 weeks pregnant and it feels like the baby is literally kicking my ass lol! Anyone else relate? It's the weirdest feeling.

Answer

I was experiencing similar rectal pressure and contractions a few weeks ago. I felt like no matter what I couldnt ease the pain or get baby to move. If your baby positioned itself low enough for long enough it may have caused hemorrhoids. It's hard to do, lol. but check your rectal area if you can for swollen veins.

Answer

Totally can relate! My baby sits super low in my pelvis and often times I feel her kick more towards the back, it almost gives me a pulse feeling in my bottom. My doc said the same thing, it's just related to baby's position.
