Love feeling baby move, but sometimes it freaks me out!

Baby Reece has been moving around so much lately and I absolutely love feeling him in there. So, don't get me wrong, I wouldn't change anything.

However, sometimes I can feel him rolling and then one of his body parts with make hard lump will appear on my belly. These lumps used to be pretty small, but lately, they have been big. Not sure if it's a different body part (head vs. foot for instance) or if he's just growing, but it can be a little unnerving to feel a big lump sticking out of my belly. I have to remind myself it's him and not some tumor growing inside my belly!

Anyone else still need to get used to this feeling?

    No I love it!  I saw my baby rolling in my belly the other night.  It was pretty trippy seeing the different lumps pop up and slide across my belly.  :)

    I havent seen any major lumps yet, but am starting to see some movement from the outside. LO was VERY active this morning as I sat in my BLS recertification class. Something about learning CPR excites him/her! It is an odd feeling, and I am sure it will get even more odd once I start feeling those little "tumors"!

    Like I said, it's changed very recently. I had no problem at all with the little hard bumps and watching him move around. I love seeing and feeling him more regardless. It's just been lately (literally the past couple of days) that I've had some pretty big lumps. 

    Last night when I rolled over, he moved and I had this massive lump in my belly. It was like the whole side of my belly where he was was just one big hard lump. It was really weird feeling and I hadn't felt or seen one that big before. I think I just have to get used to it now that he's bigger.

    I'm further along than some of you who responded, so wait and see if maybe you feel the same way in a month or so!

    I'm so, so sorry to do a 'just you wait', but I've got to!  When DD got big, my labmates could tell through my shirt when she turned over or what position she was in (vertical or horizontal).  Sometimes you could actually see a foot or a hand pressing out.  Like you said, wouldn't change anything, but yes, creepy to me!

    I love feeling my little guy move around down there, but some of those bumps do kinda shock! My hubby was talking to the baby the other day, and about got kicked in the face...He was all, "Oh my GOSH!!! Did you SEE that???" It was so funny! I told him to try FEELING it, from the inside out! lol...It's amazing how fast he's growing already!!!

    I LOVE it!!!  :)  I havent seen any lumps yet, but I have seen movement from the outside a few times.  I am actually looking forward to seeing more from outside.

    Ok, glad I'm not the only one. I am looking forward to seeing a foot or something, though, later on. Just have to get used to the tumor-like bulges. :)

    When we first started being able to feel him, DH was like, "that must feel so strange" and I would tell him "not really, it's great. It's fun, I like it." But yeah, now it does feel a bit strange!

    I would be perfectly content if I didn't feel the baby move (except of course that I would want the reassurance that everything is ok).  I'm not look forward to seeing him bulge out of my stomach.

    It is so very bizzare!  I haven't seen it move from the outside yet, but feeling the baby turn and roll around from side to side is VERY strange!  I wonder if I'll ever get used to it.  As neat as it is, it makes me jump a little each time!

    LO has just recently started doing that.  It really freaks DH out to see my stomach move, I don't mind that, I hate it when he curls up on one side and my stomach looks lopsided.  And my skin just feels so tight where he is laying, it is just strange.  It just gets worse!  When I was pregnant with DD for the last 2 months she liked to lay on the right side instead of the left, my stomach looked lopsided most of the time!
