Jerica... although I mostly agree some children are an exception to the rule. Depending on age and other techniques that have been tried. When my mom was pregnant with my little sister she watched a girl who continually kicked her in the stomach trying to be malicious! She was probably about 6 and although I'm sure she had some issues which is why she did it it wasn't right. My parents had to hog tie her and set her on the porch screaming until her mother came to get her! and from that point on we obviously didn't contact them.
Wow seriously slap him in the face??? How ridiculous can you be or get??? First of all the baby is well protected and it would take a pretty significant kick to hurt the baby but like all others have suggested you can always contact the dr or go in just to ease your mind. Second I gave two toddler sons who try to rough house with me sometimes and they hurt my belly sometimes but the baby is fine I just have to constantly remind them to be easy. Lastly some of you ladies are utterly ridiculous you do not know how old the child is or the circumstances of how it came about. Regardless you should never suggest smacking a child in the face that is never the right thing to do EVER!!!! If anything the child needs to be sat down and talked to and explained to why he needs to be easy and if it continues then go a little more stern by time out or even swatting their butts but not ever smacking him in the face that is abuse!!
I have 2 year old nephew who always wanted to kick me.... when I would change his clothes. But I would just grab him by his legs and tell him to stop and took his hand and made him touch my belly to show him I have baby. So now he kisses my belly instead of kicking it.
Wow such rash comments about the nephew. I may be wrong but he could be a toddler and/or playing around with his aunt. Like in a tickle war kids get squirly and he could have accidently kicked her. I don't imagine this could purposely running up to her kicking her in the tummy and taking off. But I guess you never know. And yes I'd def car your doctor on this one.
Wow, I would have kicked him back. I hope everything is okay with you and your baby though.
How old is he? If He's old enough u can explain to him that theres a baby in ur tummy n he has to be careful. I don't know if u have that kind of relationship with his parents to scold or spank him. But I'm really close to my nephew he's 5 n he accidentally pushed a table towards me n started crying cuz he thought he hurt the baby♥ the table didn't touch me. Was it a hard intentional kick?
My one year old jumps on me all the time and I am 35 weeks...your nephew would have to kick you pretty hard to hurt baby but if your worried I would call your doc.
Give a slap on his face first n stay away from him.ur own baby is most important right now.
I would kick that kids @ss
What the heck is wrong with him. Sorry but tell his parents he needs to be disciplined for that. Baby is still pretty protected but maybe call your dr and ask them. And stay away from your nephew.
First I would call the doc to be on the safe side. Second I would bust his butt. But make sure baby is ok because you are further along.
