Baby movement

I feel my baby move all day, but as soon as I get my phone out and record she doesn’t move anymore. Lol do you think they can sense the camera ???

Same!

Yep the same! A few weeks ago I was finally able to see the movements from the outside, tried videoing a few times when she's been moving and it's like she's gone to sleep!

Avatar

A girl posted yesterday taking a ice bottle of water and rubbing it over her belly and got movement. I tried and it failed. I have this smigit of movement or quick stomach jerk. I am just like you wondering how do you know?? And why won’t you let me record LOL. I think i start breathing different and he’s like nope not today mom.

Avatar

Same! And every time I tell my husband to look at my bump to see the kicks she stops

Avatar

I would feel mine move tell my partner where to touch to feel her and she would stop instantly. He only ever managed to feel her move a handful of times while I was pregnant. Never managed to video any movement.

Avatar

My LO was the same! She’s even like that now at five months old. She’ll be doing something cute or funny and as soon as I go to record it she immediately stops 🤦‍♀️

Avatar

Omg I have the same problem!! My boy moves like crazy but the second I go to record he stops or the second I ask my bf to feel he stops! I know ill have a stubborn little guy on my hands when he's born!

Avatar

Our bean does this when I try to have dad feel them move 😂 stubborn thing took like two months before he could really feel it. Even after taking videos of it trying to come out my belly button! 🤣

Avatar

I feel this 😂

Avatar

And it doesn’t stop when they come out! Whenever bub is being cute and I want take a photo or video it he stops and just stares at the camera and as soon as it put it away the cuteness starts again 🤦🏻‍♀️

Avatar

Ive found that when I turn the flash on she stops 🤦🏻‍♀️ they can see light threw our bellies so that could be a thing.

Avatar

This is the best I've ever got haha and she's usually constantly moving lol 😆

Avatar

My lb was exactly the same! Moving away loads, get the camera out, nothing. He's the same now- smiling away, as soon as we get the camera he starts frowning. Hoping he'll grow out of this

Avatar

This my little man currently 26 weeks and anterior placenta my husband is away so hasn’t felt baby move at all this pregnancy so I sent them this took me
Forever to get him to move I found using a flashlight first worked then I quickly replaced it with the bottle

Avatar

Same story here!!! And it happens as well when I ask hubby to feel the movement! I am gonna have a cheeky girl haha

Avatar

Same im 38 weeks and i havent got a good video this whole time! Every single time i try!

Avatar

27weeks today and baby girl got the hiccups this morning so cute 🥰 to watch I’ve tried to record it but I think she knows what I’m up to 😂

Avatar

I thought that too. I just try to record my son's movements but he stopped right after I turned on my record on my phone.

Avatar

My belly jiggles when it’s hiccups and it seems to happen after I eat something spicy

Avatar

MINE TOO 😂😂 camera shy

Avatar

How I am except with my husband. Baby is kicking the crap out of me. The second my husband tries to feel it, our boy stops moving.

Avatar

Same here! Going like mad, when I take phone out to record, it all stops! 😂

Avatar

I wonder the same thing😂

Avatar

Eat something then try it! They also like when you're trying to sleep 😆

Avatar

Mine does the same 😂😂

Avatar

My baby boy does this too 🤣

Avatar

Same here 🤦🏽I thought it was just me

Avatar

My baby did this exact same thing

Avatar

Happens to me ☹️

Avatar

My son used to do this too 🤣🤣 always said he was camera shy

Avatar

I feel the same way!

Avatar

This happens to me too!! I try an trick her haha I put the phone on record and then sit and pretend I’m watching TV! Like she can see me 😭😭

Avatar

Same!! Such a camera shy baby..

Avatar

I deal with this too😔

Avatar

Lol sameee! I'm about to pop knowing I haven't film of my tummy moving

Avatar

😂 this happens to me every single day.

Avatar

Hold something cold to the side their at, they'll scuttle away and give u a good vid

Avatar

Exactly the same!

Avatar

Same! Also when I want people to feel my belly, baby stops!!

Avatar

I think it’s because when you pick up the phone or put it in a position you’re changing the pressure on the belly - I tend to find when my arms are down and hands resting on the belly it moves so much, as soon as I move to pick up the phone or let someone else touch it stops moving 😂

Avatar

You are not alone. I be thinking the same thing like how do you know i have my phone on you. I'm pregnant with my 5th & all of them did this. My other 4 while babies they didn't too much care for pics but now they older (2,4 6,7) pictures are everything.

Avatar

Happened to me so much!! I think the babies stop moving because our breathing changes when we try and film them. I was holding my breath and sitting really still without realizing it. So what I did was read a book and with the other hand hold my phone up to record and it worked!!!

Avatar

My baby was the exact same and now when she laughs, I take the phone out and she stops straight away. I swear they can sense it!

Avatar

Wait til they have hiccups! They can't hide them!
My little miss is constantly hiding from camera and my partner. They absolutely know!

Avatar

This is defo my baby girl. I wanna catch her wriggling about on camera but it’s like she knows she’s so stubborn 🙊😂

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

I have a 3 yo and a 2yo that are in bed sleeping only just now. I have a 1 yo that’s been sleeping from 8 o’clock to 10 o’clock. I just gave her her milk and she would’ve gone back to sleep if it wasn’t that
I lost her dummy earlier in the day when I went out
so now she won’t go back to sleep and she won’t accept any of the other dummy’s i have!😔😔and it’s 10 o’clock and I’m gonna be up until 3 o’clock with her and when she does want to go to sleep i won’t have any dummy to give her she will accept and she won’t sleep without it i just wanna cry 😔i have nobody to talk to and i feel so alone i get no support from anybody i’m so tired and i don’t feel well to top it off😔
