Baby kicks and the port....OUCH. And measuring ahead...

So...I'm 30wks with a VERY active baby. An active baby that really seems to dislike my port in her way. Anyone else feeling painful port kicks???? Sometimes my belly pokes out where the port is and I think there's a little foot trying to get it out of her way.

Also, I'm measuring at 34 wks and my midwife tends to think that this is because of the port and band taking up abdomen space? Anyone measure far ahead during their pregnancy??

Actually, I was thinking that there must be a reason why babies like the port so much. Anything else that they would kick would be relatively soft in comparison. As they are exploring the womb, it is probably one of the only 'hard' things they can feel. Perhaps it is target practice, lol.

My baby loves to hang out around the port- it is like he snuggles his feet right by it!

I am due in 2 weeks and I have been measuring big too.

Oh wow I am 24 weeks.. I guess this is something I will experience soon.. How long before you started feeling your baby kicking your port?

My little one was transverse for the longest time and would head butt my port. It would KILL. Now my port is sore more then anything and I can feel some of the scar tissue tearing a little, which can be pretty painful.

My port sticks out like a turkey timer, to the extent people will touch it thinking its a foot and then go "OMG WHAT IS THAT?!" hahahahaa

Hi! Does everyones port stick out? My doctor told me it normally doesn't when you are pregnant but I find it hard to believe. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
