6 year old niece accidently kicked me....?
I was at my sister's house and tickling my niece as I was putting her to bed. On accident, she kicked me in the stomach. I am 9 weeks, 5 days pregnant. Should I be worried? I don't know where the baby is in there...so...yeah
and also, I've had this tightness in my bellybutton area. Is that normal? Thanks.

Belly button is to high at this point to worry, I was 12 weeks along with my daughter and my son did the same thing, it hurt yeah but the Nurse I called at my OB office told me it would take way more than that to do damage, for peace of mind call your OB but what I was told that the womb is like a big old bubbly cushion and it would take a pole to the stomach to do damage however as one poster already said your uterus is down at your pelvic area.
Also to let you know HOW cushiony the Uterus is, my niece was in a really bad car accident T boned and the F -150 she was driving -my bro's truck spun all the way around then slammed into a guard rail air bag hit her right in the abdomen she is now 33 1/2 weeks pregnant but she was 10 weeks pregnant at the time and no harm came so I say you and baby are fine but to have a peace of mind.
Call your OB I am positive he/she will put your fears to rest.

you are fine. It would normally take a really hefty kick to harm your baby (way more than a six year old could deliver). Generally your body takes the brunt of anything like that, the baby is cushioned by layers of muscle, as well as plenty of fluid. If you start having severe cramping and/or a lot of bleeding, you need to get checked out, but otherwise there is no need to worry. The tightness in your bellybutton area can also be normal, just remember that as baby grows, he/she takes up a little more room in your abdomen, and this can sometimes result in a bit less room for everything else, so some areas of tightness in the skin or muscle, a bit of mild cramping- especially when moving around or standing from a seated position- and eventually other things like not being able to hold your bladder well, or getting short of breath, all these things are normal as the baby grows. :-)

Baby is still below your pelvic bone until around 12 weeks so I would say you are perfectly fine. But if you are concerned and if it would give you peace of mind then you can always call the doctor and ask them.
The tightness in your bellybutton area is just everything moving and stretching, it's normal. I felt a lot of that in early pregnancy.

I would say that your baby is much too tiny and surrounded by too many protective layers to have felt much more than a little bump. I think situations like this are only bad when the baby is much bigger and has less space between itself and the outside of your belly. I'm sure everything is fine, but if you are in pain and really scared call the doctor.

How hard was it? I doubt she did any harm to you or the baby. Your uterus isn't even palpable above your pubic bone yet. It's waaay down there in your pelvis.
Don't know about the bellybutton tightness! Did it just happen after she kicked you? She could have bruised your stomach muscles a bit.

Taking issues faraway from infants by no ability artwork, of course this new child knows of that as long as she has get right of entry to to the sport equipment she will play it. video games, laptop time, and tv are privileges that could desire to be earned somewhat than exceeded to the youngster because of fact the youngster needs it and using such issues could desire to be monitored, supervised and constrained. My young infants get an hour an afternoon for their decision of video games, television or laptop. it extremely is extremely obtrusive that this new child is vieing for interest. Her mothers and dads are long previous all day she has little or no time together with her very own mom and in all probability feels abandonded via her. How might you sense in case you have been 6 years outdated and the guy who's meant to nurture and take care of you became long previous each and every of the time? Yeah you're her aunt, vast deal, you're nevertheless no longer her mom and this new child of course desires the attention of her mom minus the interference of her cousins, aunt and grandmother. how are you able to blame this new child for behaving as she does while her mothers and dads of course provide her no time or interest? the youngster isn't in charge right here, it is the adults round her who could desire to take a inspect what they have created and do precise via this new child.

I wouldnt be worried unless you have bleeding or cramps. The baby is really protected in there and at 9 weeks the baby has not even grown out of your pelvis yet so it is even more protected. they can handle the odd knock

You are fine. Don't worry! Your baby is well cushioned in there. If there was something wrong u'd be bleeding/cramping bad by now. Congrats on the lil one and be very careful. You are momma bear now:)

You should go to the hospital she may have kicked the baby out of your uterus and you can actually miscarry any day! Good Luck!
