I'm currently 25 weeks pregnant and I can feel really strong kicks all the time, which I am quite surprised about as I have an antrrior placenta and was told by a MW that this could make it difficult to feel kicks. I can even feel them from the outside if I'm resting.my hands on my belly.
My problem is, whenever DP puts his hand on my belly (usually keeps it there while we're watching rv in bed) the baby literally refuses to kick while his hand is there! That's not even a slight exaggeration - as soon as he moves his hand and I put mine there it boots me one! He says it is ok and it will happen when it happens, but I can see that he really wants.to feel it kick like I have and the little monkey just won't kick when his hand is there! It's not just him either, it's the same when my mum tries, it won't kick then either.
Is it just bad timing or can it actually somehow sense its my hand? Just don't want DP to feel bad about it! Baby kicks when I sing and talk.to it as well. Should I try doing that when DP has his hand on my belly maybe?
Sorry for the long winded post, it's our first baby so its all new to us :)
