Kicking trick! !

I'm a first time mom at 18 weeks. Last week a mom posted a trick to get the baby to kick and I thought I'd share it again for anyone that missed it. I have felt little flutters since week 14 but really wanted my husband to be able to feel the baby kick.  I tried this simple trick and he felt the four biggest kicks so far in our pregnancy.  Lie on your back and breath in really deep, then breath out slowly.  Be patient. I did it a few times before the baby moved. It doesn't work for everyone so don't be discouraged. You can also try drinking a tall glass of water first. Good luck ladies!
