Kick so hard boob moves

Bit of a weird one but it feels like I'm going insane when I tried to explain it to my partner. I was sitting down and I swear to god baby kicked my ribs so hard my boob sort of bounced? He did it three times and then stopped. Has this happened to anyone else? My partner has me feeling like I've made it up 😂
