    Talking feeling movement from the outside/seeing it?

    over the last few days i think i've felt movement from the outside.
    and today while on the phone i *think* i saw it. as in a little bump that poped up and dissapeared really fast! is that movement from the out side? and for when i have my hand on my belly its like i can feel a bump and it "pops"...im guessing thats a kick/punch. i think i also copped one on the baldder while i was talking to a friend of mine on the phone....

    i've also read babies in utro are more active toward 12am. i have a strange little bub mine starts moving around 5am untill maybe 6:30. thats when i've felt all of my kicks the last few days, and every time i call DF to feel it blip plays possum and stops! so poor DF is getting frustrated!

    has any one elce felt out side movement yet? for any one whoes had a baby before is this what it feels/looks like?

    I felt it last night and this morning for the first time!! And now it won't stop moving, lol. That's what it feels like for me too, kinda like a muscle twitch? And it pokes out and hits my hand if I have it there. Mine is hard for DH to catch too, cheeky little buggers!

    If you have a search on youtube some people have videos of their bub moving from the outside. It's really cool to watch if you haven't been there before.

    Yep you're right!! That's your baby moving and you can see it from the outside!!
    I experienced this for the first time about 4 nights ago!! I was sitting still watching my belly for about 10mins waiting and waiting and then it happened and I saw this little bump in my skin pop up! It was the BEST thing ever!! I hope DH sees it with me next time....

    DH and I have felt our baby from the outside with our hands for the last 2 weeks it's very exciting.... ENJOY!!

    Sometimes my baby is really active in the mornings, other times really active in the evenings!! Today, bubs is sleeping ALOT haha

    I reckon 20 weeks onwards is the best part of pregnancy

    yay im glad others are feeling movement and seeing it!

    i saw DF when he was on lunch today and had a slurrpy (like i really needed an excuse!) to have a cold sugary drink and it did the trick, he felt two good kicks/punches and semi felt what i think was a head butt :P which was awsum for him! we just got DF's dad about it and he laughed. (he's been super good about this whole "btw im preggers kthxbye" i cant wait untill i can show my mum n dad and his mum and dad too!

    i just thought - as any one seen like the full on shape on the hand/foot as it pops out? (i dont want to freek DF out if that happens...)

    Both my bubs were super active - especially in the last 3rd trimester and I've never seen a hand or foot ( like in that pic you see around with the feet!) FUnny thing a bit OT I had a dream a few weeks ago that I did see the feet and he had 10 toes on one foot!
    I find that when I'm relaxing in the bath - (which is often!) my tummy just goes crazy with movement and looks amazing! Enjoy it!
