Hi Westy, you didn't say exactly where the pain is, but a few weeks ago (at the same stage you are now) I was extremely sore in the band of soft tissue across the lower stomach, just above the pelvic bone. It was tender to the touch and sore when I moved, and it lasted a few weeks. It's gone now, I think it was just thing shifting around to make room for the baby.

As for the moving and kicking.. well, I reckon it will slack of in the eighth month when there isn't so much room in there! I reckon my little fella is taking acrobatic classes, I wake up with dreadful heartburn and sore ribs sometimes from the kicks, and I'm only 23 weeks!
