So I have no idea what I'm talking about but sometimes I can see/feel what looks like the baby breathing in my stomach. It'll be a small area about the size of my palm just going up and down as if I'm watching her breath but I have no idea what position she could possibly be in that that's actually what I'm looking at.
Am I being a crazy or does anyone else know what I'm talking about?
Re: Can you see the baby "breathing"?
uh, i doubt you could see it thru the uterus, and a layer of fat and then your own skin...
but they do "practice breathing" by swallowing amniotic fluid from time to time. not very consistently though like breathing would be...
This.
THIS exactly. I obviously know she's not actually breathing in there (which is why I put it in quotes in the title) but it's definitely not hiccups because that's a totally different feeling.
I'm voting it's practice breathing, haha. I'm going to ask my doctor at my next appointment.
um they practice breathing while in the womb.
I too was told that the baby was practicing sucking their thumb too.
This. I have been able to see the practice breathing, too. I have read that women who were slim/fit prior to pg are more likely to be able to see this. DH and I have seen it occasionally when LO's back was right up against my stomach.
