No advice on redirecting the kicks, don't really know if anything aside from position changes would do that. My baby doesn't kick hard enough to bruise, but my ribs are getting a little sore. Some babies have broken ribs and pelvises during pregnancies/births, hope your little one isnt that strong!
At this rate she might get that strong I still have about 13 weeks and she has been bruising me for a couple weeks now....
I don't know how you would feel about this but praying for her will work. And also you have to talk to her Ans tell her its not okay -she definitely can understand you.! As much as you love her, you have to start disciplining her. If she's already giving you this much trouble in a rebellious way, imagine when she's older and in her teen years.
You are hilarious. I could just imagine seeing a 7 month pregnant women shopping in the mall telling her belly it's not okay to kick mommy that hard and she better simmer down or else. LOL! That's great
