Hello,
Many women experience hurt on baby movement especially when the baby has a foot or arm pressed against the ribs or abdomen. At seventh month or when the baby starts getting bigger it is natural to feel pain on the diaphragm, stomach, liver, intestine, etc. You may also experience backache. Your rib and pelvis may feel sore also. Take rest from time to time to ease discomfort.
Avoid doing any heavy work. If you feel the baby is making too much movements then it may be indicative that the baby may be in distress. Get clinically examined by your gynae, get fetal heart rate examination done. He may recommend USG (Uterus) to detect the well being of the fetus. You will be treated accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
