We sure have a monkey on our hands here!!

[Shanti]

I've been feeling our baby's movements since week 12 but lately they are so strong now because i'm 20 weeks and bub is MUCH bigger!

In the evenings when I'm sitting on the computer like now, not moving much, this little monkey in my belly gets sooo active! It's so awesome feeling my baby moving around in there! Right now, it's like she/he is practising gymnastics or something and flipping all over the place!! Poking my uterus left right and centre! I love it!!

But every time I go to put my hand where the movement is to feel the baby from the outside..... it STOPS!

I'm determined to catch him/her out one of these days and say "ha! felt you from the outside!" We sure have one monkey on our hands here!!!

I know it's still early days and heaps of time to feel bubs with our hand from the outside but i want to now!!! hehe and I want to grab DH's hand so he can feel it too! Ohh just got another one and missed it! Every time DH or I put our hand there its as if she/he just knows and pulls away!

[Arimeh]

Yup, both of mine have done that too.

Wait till you get to 39 weeks - then you just want them to stop kicking you in the ribs!!!

Miss Jasmine was one of them monkeys!!!

Chelsea was happy to let you feel her soccer kicks...LOL

BumbleBee is a quite little man who kicks...but not like Chelsea!

It's awesome hey? Just wait until you can see them rolling around in there. With my kids, my belly would move so much and signifincatly change shape while they were moving. I could also feel from the outside where the legs and feet were, it's so cool.

ha ha cute about the moving!


but more importantly...
... you referred to female before male gender on two occasions and male before female on only one occasion. are you indicating something subconsciously.??????


hhhmmmm the great mystery of BB. Is Ren having a girl or a boy?

Ahh good point!!

[Antheia]

No, i don't think so. She said him/her and she/he which makes more sense to me instead of saying her/him, if you know what i mean.

Aww that's nice Ren!! I know what you mean about them being sneaky and stop when you want to feel them ... it's freaky.

I would suggest spooning DH's back when you get into bed. That way when bubba kicks, DH will be able to "feel" it on his back ... it works for us. Also when your watching TV, just recline a bit, make your body "long" and lift your top and let your bump "breath". You'll soon notice how he/she or she/he is moving (looks like jello on a plate ) and then you can try putting your hand there. It does take some time, but you'll catch him/her or her/him

I CAN NOT believe that you are half-way through!!! WHERE has the time gone????

And SHAME on you for not telling us if it's a boy or a girl, SHAME

Ren,
Im feeling exactly the same thing,my little man wont keep still but i cant feel from outside and some of the movements are bizarre..i have an energizer bunny

[Shanti]

Haha! Nice try ladies..... he/she she/he haha! I was VERY careful with my wording.... Keep guessing it's hilarious reading what you all think!
I love not telling
You're all just waiting for me to slip up aren't ya's!! haha (mind you, i have to read over my posts before hitting send to ensure i've typed the right thing!)

Nadine - i know! time has gone so fast.... even for your pregnancy! Look at you!!

I'm glad our baby isn't the only one in there being cheeky and not letting us feel the outside movements yet!!

[treesinnewzealand]

i to am in the same boat as alot of you ladies i can feel bronson going nuts everytime i sit down not so much when stading up at this stage but i have a few things in there that might make it harder for me to feel him (oh man felt that one :LOL
I tryed the spooning partner thing this morning but didnt work he stil didnt feel him mind you i didnt feel first son until about 26 weeks i think so got we bit to go yet.

[Heaven]

lol, very cheeky.
I don't have big kicks yet, only flutters but I keep making them stop too coz every time I feel it I put my hand on my belly and then it stops. I don't think I'm ever going to feel it, pmsl.

[Jakabella]

Thats great Ren!
I am at the stage now where I can feel big kicks and rolls form the outside and in = tho when DH puts his hand there the little monkey stops!!
I also sit slightly reclined on the couch at night and lift my top and I will laugh out loud as my tummy moves and rolls around! Its very very funny! I love it!!
Good on you for sticking to your guns about not telling any one the sex! If we know Iknow that I would slip up and ppl would know!!
