And we have a verdict!

It's either a bruised or a cracked rib. Definitely okay on the placenta and definitely okay on the kidneys....only one little wee problem.

My ribs hurt like a motherf---er. Pass the codeine, and see you in the morning.

This kid must have the strongest feet and legs of any in utero entity ever. Definitely a runner, or a linebacker material. I just wish he'd learn to be gentle with his poor osteoporosis-prone mother.

  2. Damn, that sucks.

    Feel better, soon. Labor with a cracked rib won't be any fun.

  9. Um, uh, yay? Samuel kicked and it hurt, but wow, not that badly. I'm sorry. Lay your butt down and take some codeine and rest. Good lord.

  10. Oh my god, what a kick! Just a little friendly advice - P was a hellacious kicker, and child is active as you like. As in, crazy active. Also, for about the first year of her life she kicked her legs furiously. All.the.time. Like restless leg syndrome in infant form.

    I understand broken/cracked ribs are extremely painful. I hope they heal quickly and that you're not in too much pain. As if it's not enough to be heavily pregnant as well!

  13. I never thought I'd be hoping that someone had a cracked rib (I'll bet you never thought so either...!). CFL training camps should be starting shortly. ; ) As the above poster said, hang in there!!
