I LOVE seeing my belly wriggle about, not quite at the stage of seeing body parts as I'm only 30 weeks. I really think I'm going to miss feeling her in there, it's such a comfort to feel the wriggles and punches.. probably won't feel like that soon when her room runs out!

I love it! It's definitely weird, but totally my favourite bit of being pregnant. I think the baby reacts to my voice though because as soon as I tell someone else to look at my belly moving she stops. DH thinks I'm making it up sometimes.

Aw that was my favourite stage

My babies were both back to back (one at a time mind you! not twins!!!) and so I always had limbs at the front - used to get all sorts of odd looks from people sitting opposite me on the train etc!

I found watching it quite hypnotic but in the last few weeks it was rather painful. And no amount of rolling around on the birthing ball would convince them to swivel around! Little tykes

I cant decide if I like it or not Confused makes it feel quite real that there is a baby in there...

I loved it with first pregnancy (currently 6+6 with second). Until one day....

DD was breech. I was 29 weeks ish and had been advised to try lots of sitting on gym ball to try get her to turn. I woke on night feeling really weird, sort of light headed and a bit queasy and felt her moving round an awful lot. I shoved DP awake thinking I was going to barf everywhere and had the urge to get on all fours, my belly went completely 'horizontal' and DP's eyes nearly left his head! It settled down and I went to midwife next morning thinking something was wrong. It wasn't but she had turned completely the right way and was no longer breech. All in one horrible go!
