5-20-2017 – A Word to the Wise: Kicking may all so be signs of something far more severe John Kelly tells of one of his patients who in the 28th week started to experience sharp jabs by the fetus. These kicks grew in intensity until the mother became alarmed and went to see her obstetrician. He diagnosed a placenta previa, a condition which threatened the life of the child. After treatment, the kicking stopped and five weeks later a normal delivery occurred.
