is my girl suppose to be rolling around

in my belly!? Call me absolutely and totally naive I knew there would be kicks but I had no clue my girl would be rolling around. I put my hands on my belly and I feel her little body pushing out of my skin. She's on the left one minute then the right then the middle! This is crazy amazing! I at first thought I needed to use the bathroom! Lmao. Is she supposed to be doing this? And is it okay if I feel her with my hand when she does? I don't want to hurt her or disrupt whatever it is that my crazy active girl is doing in there? : P

I freaked out the first time I felt my baby do this. I was sitting there watching her kick me then all of sudden I saw her push up on my left side and scoot over to the right side. Then she started doing all kinds of weird things. She still does it now, I'm 38 weeks and 3 days, only it looks like she is trying to bust out through my stomach.

Oh this is very exciting! I can't wait to see what she does on mondays ultra sound! I have a question yesterday before I realized her little spot she snuggles up in I had popped my leg up (don't ask me why im thinking cramp but I really can't remember) and I totally hit my stomach. (not used to this belly at all!) On to of being startled that my stomach was there it hurt just a bit but mostly felt really weird. I'm betting my girl was right there... Do you think she's ok? Judging by her movements I'm thinking she is fine but I'm hoping I didn't break or damage anything on her little body. I was gonna ask the doctor on Monday but I now can't stop thinking about it ESP every time I feel her nestle up in her spot.

Our lil bean has been super active since the very first ultrasound. At the 20 weeks scan, he/she actually flip around to four positions on screen during that short time. I thought as the baby grow bigger there will be less room to do full baby roll, not!!! I'm at 32 weeks and the lil one still do full flip and turns almost daily. Just hoping it's going to be the head down position in the end.

Totally normal...and a very good sign!! Your not at all disrupting her by putting your hands on your belly...its actually good to interact and stimulate baby girl :)

I'm 19 Weeks. It started yesterday and I thought I was imagining things BC as soon as I felt her she moved to get hiding spot. Well now she can't hide BC she's too big! ha ha I found her hiding spot by the way! Sneaky girl can't hide now! Thank you! This was super helpful! I'm happy I'm not gonna disrupt anything. I definitely am gonna watch her! So awesome!

Totally normal!! I felt a little foot yesterday! We spend hours tickling baby and feeling little nudges and kicks. Being able to feel baby is helpful later on when you know which position they are in and can kinda moniter if they drop down or flip around, I can feel the head and bum most of the time now and am keeping a wee eye on where the kicks are coming from, I'm at 30wks now so hoping that there's not going to be any more flipping over. Lie in the bath or in bed and watch your tummy, it's better than watching TV!! It freaked me out with my first pregnancy, but now I'm on my third I love watching baby wriggle around! Enjoy!!
