I know my baby is not the only one that does this, but it never ceases to amaze me when she responds to external stimulus.

Music - definitely gets her moving in my tummy.

Loud voices or noises - she doesn’t like it and will start kicking.

CTG machine - she DEFINITELY does not like it. She was dozing this morning when we reached the hospital. The minute the two sensors were strapped on, she started moving and shaking like Shakira’s hips.

Me patting her with my palm - she likes the patting as she’ll move towards the location of my hands. If I put my left hand at the top of my bump where her legs are, and my right hand at the bottom near her head and start patting with my right hand, I can feel her start moving and ‘rising up’ under my left hand.

Me prodding her with my fingers - sometimes I can see a little mole-like bump moving around my tummy and I just can’t resist touching the small bump with my fingers, it’s so cute! But when I do, she moves to another spot. And if I follow, she moves again…it makes me laugh everytime she does that!

And not to forget, her favourite…the small scratching motion that never fails to make her ‘rise up’ and distend my belly. Works almost every time, though I try not to do it now in case it causes more contractions…

If she’s so responsive and active in the tight confines of my tummy…I really wonder how active she’ll be when she’s out!
