Baby only kicks for a tiny amount of time

[HeidiHole]

I'm 26 weeks tomorrow and baby has been kicking for ages now.
However I want my husband to feel it but it seems that baby will kick but by the time I rush over to him it's stopped.

Now I just think the baby is trying to wind me up :)

Does anyone have a baby that has prolonged kicking periods, or does everyone's just go kick kick kick... and sleep like mine!

Give it time and you'll be wanting a bit of respite! I'm now nearly 32 weeks md the kicks are big and dramatic! A few weeks ago I was concerned as kicks were more like little taps (very unlike first DC) but now you can see my tummy moving across the room!

Oh really! ah right... i'll not whinge then!! Must make the most of it. I was wondering if it'd be like this all pregnancy and DH would never get the chance to feel a kick!

my ds was like this, everytime he would stop as soon as dp put his hand on my belly. Think he only felt it once or twice. He's is a proper daddy's boy now

I'm 34 weeks with a super active baby but she often stops as soon as my dp puts his hands on my stomach. I think its coz baby is used to feeling your hands not your partners. To be honest sometimes i'm so desperate for her to stop booting me i'll get my dp to put his hands on my tummy as she def stops doing it when he does so it has its plus side!

I'm the same. My baby moves loads until my boyfriend touches my belly then it all stops. 29 weeks now and the baby kicks EVERYWHERE, not just in the middle of my belly. I've felt a kick as close as the side of my body where the bump doesn't even go! I can get a kick down my groin and under my ribcage at the same time. I suppose one of them is a punch, then :P
