baby goes crazy as soon as i touch belly

every single time i put my hand on my belly he starts kicking like crazy! even when i move my hand up his kicks follow my hand. does anyone else’s baby do this? i also have an anterior placenta so i didn’t know he could feel my touch! i always feel like he’s terrified when i touch and starts going insane but i know that’s my dumb brain overthinking. i’m sure he loves it? idk 😂

It's playing with them. My little man likes it. He dosnt particularly like the heart doppler or the ultrasound wands tho. He kicks and scratches at them with a vengeance lol. My 22 week scan took a lil while because of this haha.

how do you know if he likes it? just trying to understand for myself bc every time i touch my belly he reacts so intensely! just happened again tonight and i just wanna make sure he likes it and isn’t scared or anything 😂😂

i read somewhere that babies can sense the mothers touch and know when someone or something else (the doppler/ultrasound) is touching them so maybe that’s why yours reacts differently to the equipment! which is so fascinating how they know lol

Just want to sleep again! 🫩

I wake up around 8.30am, have some cereal, meditate/pray for a bit, make a cuppa and then by 10am I’m tired again and could easily nap. My iron levels have been checked and were fine. Is it just me or is anyone else feeling like this? I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant 👀

Has anyone had a VQ scan for possible blood clots. As I need to have to have one and concerned due to the radiation and possible risk of baby having childhood cancer.

Review at 36 weeks

Has anyone had An anesthesia review at 36 weeks?
What is this for as I never had this with my first?
I am being scanned every 3 weeks as my first was small and now my second is measuring small.

Baby girl names

Love pretty shorter names such as Millie, Gracie, Lottie. My husband only likes Millie and I’m struggling to find anything else he likes! However I’m not 100% on Millie.

Love Lilly, Maisie, Isabelle, Tilly but sadly can’t use these sadly.

We have a little boy called Oliver (Ollie).

Middle name will be Rae.

Any ideas?🙈

Anyone else still feeling really good

If I hadn’t of had a scan I wouldn’t believe I was pregnant. I was tired with sore boobs and this is still the case but no where near as much. I feel so good. I am incredibly bloated though but I can deal with that. My first pregnancy I suffered with dizziness really bad so this is a pleasant change.
