Anyone else have a shy baby?

I'm 20 weeks today and I have felt the baby move since about 16 weeks. I'm very petite, so even though this is my first baby, I felt it early on. Since 18 weeks, I could feel small kicks from outside my stomach. Here's the best part, the baby will be kicking like crazy, but as soon as I say something or someone other than me touches my belly, he stops! Only me and my best friend have felt it. My boyfriend is super jealous. Am I the only one the baby does this to?

Yes! With D he was famous for it! My hub worked on the river barges and only was in 2 weeks every few months. Ever time I would say hurry feel D would stop. So hub would try to push. I told him u can't squish a kick out.  Lol!

My lil boy was like that too and still is but now he is getting familiar with his daddy's hands and voice so now sometimes he does move when he touches or speaks... other than that no one else can feel him or make him move :)... my sister in laws and mother have been trying but nothing
