has anyone shined a light on their belly?

I am 29 weeks and have heard that if you shine a light on ur belly your baby will react. Can you tell that they do? My husband says he doesnt want to cause it could blind the baby lol

Your baby will not go blind, you have skin and the baby is surrounded by your uterus & placenta plus their eyes are shut till like 27 weeks :)

I'm 28+4 and apparently my baby hates light, lol. He will move and kick and push and do all kinds of tricks but when I shine a light on him, he'll stop. He's also a night baby and Is more active at night, so the flash light trick don't work on him. Lol.
