seeing baby move

luvmybundle

i can feel my little baby moving and having a ball in there, but the minute i raise up my shirt to watch it she quits! it's like s strange little game we play.  so I've found myself walking around shirtless at times just so that i can see her move.  of course she won't lol! and it isn't like its a lot of bright light shining on my tummy.  anyone else experience this? i just think its so funny.

I always see my baby move... It's when I want anyone else to see that he stops! 99 percent of the time, it works out this way. They just don't like to put on a show :-)

Drink ice cold water and lay on your left side and watch your belly. That might work

i will try some of the suggestions so that i can see if she'll let me watch her move.  i know she's moving but it stops as soon as i put my eyes on my belly lol!

Mine is active all day,and usually pretty quiet at night for daddy. They already seem to show personalities.

its funny how they do that....my DH was getting a little disappointed because he couldn't feel her moving. I still cant see her move but I would feel the flutters and the minute he put his hand on my belly she would stop moving...I tried telling him that maybe he was comforting her so she didn't want to move to take away the sting of disappointment...anyway I told him to keep his hand still in the spot for a little while (he tends to move it searching) where I always feel her flutters and sure enough after a few minutes she gave him a big old kick....he was so happy ... it was so cute.

It's so funny because I can feel my baby boy moving, mostly after I've eaten or drunken something. More so if it's a treat he likes. Yesterday I ate a donut and he just went nuts. I have eaten desserts before and he was normal but after that glazed donut I got the feeling that he thought it was the best esting sugary treat in the world :-D That having been said, as soon as he hears DH's voice or feels  his hand on my stomach he quiets down, lol. I told DH our poor son's not even born yet and he's already afraid of him lol!!

*tasting, not esting

Mine is very active, but like some of you have said, it's when someone is watching he stops. Now I can see him move threw my shirt. And the father along the stronger his kicks are. It's pretty cool

When ever DH puts his hand on my tummy DS2 stops moving around. It's really funny. He is such a stinker.

I think LO really feels when its dad's hand (his is much warmer than mine!) and somehow calms down. When he puts his hand on my belly, at first he can feel some kicks, then somehow it's like she falls asleep and neither me now husband can feel anything anymore. I think it's cute she finds daddy comforting!

my baby will kick for me but when my boyfriend puts his hand on my belly he stops kicking and i think its funny and when he takes his hand of my belly he starts kicking again.

Mine will put on a show for my husband and I no problem, but the moment my husband gets out his phone to take a video, she stops. She's a bit camera shy. ;-)
