touching your stomach

I caught myself touching my stomach probably 15 times this morning.. not really thinking about it... this happening to anyone else?

Re: touching your stomach

  • Yup - I've found it sitting there or caught myself reaching for it.  I have read that it is a natural instinct to promote bonding between mom & baby.

  • I usually only do when I'm laying in bed at night or I feel some weird twinge

  • Yes - usually thinking "Ok, baby.... you're that size of an olive.  How can you cause so much bloat?"

  • I do that too!  But, so does my SO.  I wake up in the morning and sometimes his hand is where the baby is.  Its so cute when I look over and he is still sleeping.  He only started doing this after we used the doppler and he found the heartbeat... must be bonding.  Hehe.

  • I do it constantly! DH always puts his hand on the top of my belly where it's all bloating. I have to remind him that our little olive is all the way on the bottom and up there the only thing he is touching is the nacho baby that I ate for lunch.

  • I didn't realize I did until I got busted by my sister in law!  Now I catch myself all the time.
  • I touch mine ALL the time, I rub it, push on it...everything. I joke with DH telling him I am teaching the baby morse code by pushng on it so we can communicate...
  • yes! and saying "what are we gonna eat" lol.

  • All.the.time.

    But my stomach is upset all the time, so it's probably a combination of instinct and just rubbing my stomach b/c I don't feel well.

  • I noticed about two days ago that I touch my stomach. I think I did yesterday about 30 times.

    Not so much during the day (not a lot of people know and I don't want to give it away). Every now and then, though, it gravitates there.

    DH has noticed that I sleep with my hand on my belly. :)

  • It started when I was feeling crampy in week 5. Now I just do it. I don't know why, but I'm conscious enough about it not to do it in public.

  • Smile  I usually do it when I'm sitting at my desk.  I have no idea when I started doing it, but I caught myself one day and now I can't help it...lol.

  • YES! And my one coworker that knows has started telling me when I do it because I'm trying to keep it a secret and he thinks that's going to give me away!!
