I love to poke my belly just so he can kick. I also rub it too. Love the interaction.

I love poking my belly from time to time, especially since I have a stubborn little one with attitude already...yes she has a lot of personality right now. If me or my boyfriend pokes my belly she will kick back in the same spot. Or even if I decide to place my hand on my belly she will kick it off or kick until I move my hand...lol

I try to move her away from my bladder all the time at work...its her favorite spot while I'm there at work. I love her jabs and kicks and punches just not when I'm working.

When I was pregnant with my son I would kinda tickle my belly and watch him move or my husband would blow on my belly and my son would go crazy lol

Oh yea lol i play with my little munchkin all the time. Im basically all belly so you can see her move constantly and she will poke her foot out and i can cup my hand over it and move it and she will do it again. Its so gross and cool at the same time haha but i LOVE it :)

I do it too if I don't feel her move for awhile the doctor will tell u to do it if u don't feel them moving for awhile it doesn't hurt the Bby as long as u don't push too hard or punch

Omg why would anyone do such thing to their own belly I'm sure the baby feels pain. And I know I love it when the babby moves just that I wish he moved more.  I would like to see he's footnor something

I like to gently poke my belly and set things on my belly also. My kids love watching stuff bounce around on my belly as he kicks. When his kicks and all are hurting me I just rub the area. As long as you are gentle or don't set nothing heavy on your belly it's fine. I usually set my cell phone on there.

I do that too...i even put stuff on my belly to watch him kick it!

Only time I find its not ok is when you are physically hitting and pushing to hard!

(Had a mom post on here about 2 years ago (I was pregnant with my first) that she would slap hit and push her belly really hard if the baby was kicking , punching, or pushing out on her and it hurt her!)
