I'm 18 weeks and I'm STILL waiting for the flutters or goldfish or popcorn or whatever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-did-you-have-poking-wars-with-your-baby#post-66873 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:00:50 +0000 banana 66873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: That's true. There probably is alot of padding between the finger and the lo. :) I just an overly cautious person I guess. Maybe I should try it this time since it might be the last time I get pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-did-you-have-poking-wars-with-your-baby#post-66854 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:18:57 +0000 winniebee 66854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: ha! I thought about it after the fact (hm, what if I poked him in the face??) but then I realized there's a lot of fluid and padding in between my finger and him : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-did-you-have-poking-wars-with-your-baby#post-66848 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:15:47 +0000 banana 66848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never did because I was scared! I thought I might poke him accidentally in the eye or in the face somewhere so I didn't. I was also scared that their skin was so fragile since he was still developing that I would bruise him or something. I'm actually still concerned about that so I probably won't this time around either. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-did-you-have-poking-wars-with-your-baby#post-66840 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:07:11 +0000 winniebee 66840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I had to give a few hard pokes : ) He's definitely much more active once I stop moving (at night, on the couch or of course when I'm trying to sleep!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-did-you-have-poking-wars-with-your-baby#post-66836 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:57:19 +0000 mediagirl 66836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: that's so fun! Mine doesn't respond to my pokes yet but I'm only 22 weeks, so hopefully soon! She just gets going when I stop moving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-did-you-have-poking-wars-with-your-baby#post-66827 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:45:32 +0000 winniebee 66827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Today I didn't feel baby move much (I have an anterior right placenta and if the baby is on the right I don't feel much). I suspected he was snoogled over on the right. So, I just started poking my right side and sure enough that woke him up and he started punching back : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-did-you-have-poking-wars-with-your-baby#post-20746 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 21:45:32 +0000 Mrs. D 20746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: so cute! right now I think she's still trying to figure out if i'll poke back, I can't make out individual body parts yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-did-you-have-poking-wars-with-your-baby#post-20252 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 11:49:18 +0000 MrsFarmer 20252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww, I can't wait to be able to do this! Sounds like fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-did-you-have-poking-wars-with-your-baby#post-20246 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 11:43:48 +0000 Maysprout 20246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup I liked to poke her back. It was fun because there would be a brief hesitation in her kicking when I poked her back so I knew she knew I was there. And then sometimes once she knew I was there she'd just press her foot against my tummy and I'd rub it for a bit until she went back to kicking. Once she was born we had very similar interactions at first, she felt familiar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-did-you-have-poking-wars-with-your-baby#post-20245 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 11:38:38 +0000 themcmom 20245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a battle over my lungs. She thought that they were the perfect place for her legs and I thought they were the perfect place for my oxygen. I'd sit with my palm against my ribs, but it really didn't help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-did-you-have-poking-wars-with-your-baby#post-20047 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 04:29:44 +0000 mediagirl 20047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw. What a fun thing to look forward to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-did-you-have-poking-wars-with-your-baby#post-20042 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 03:31:26 +0000 enjollah 20042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha...and i thought i was the only one... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-did-you-have-poking-wars-with-your-baby#post-19961 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 00:24:30 +0000 cyndistar3 19961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. D: Yea, for the longest time I was sure all she knew how to do was do flips on my bladder and shove her feet into my ribcage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-did-you-have-poking-wars-with-your-baby#post-19958 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 00:21:04 +0000 Mrs. D 19958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: that's something I'm looking forward too. It's still too soon to have any idea of what exactly is poking me. Is it an arm, an elbow, a foot or something else? Is she headbutting me? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-did-you-have-poking-wars-with-your-baby#post-19954 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 00:19:14 +0000 cyndistar3 19954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved when I could actually feel her little body parts! I could lay there forever and play with her, sometimes I would drink super cold milk just to get her going lol... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-did-you-have-poking-wars-with-your-baby#post-19953 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 00:16:53 +0000 Mrs. D 19953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 26 weeks its not happening all the time, but at least once a day, we get to play! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-did-you-have-poking-wars-with-your-baby#post-19946 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 00:13:24 +0000 lemondrop 19946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, we've been doing this a lot for the past couple of weeks (since about 30 weeks), it is pretty cool that he is more interactive now! Usually it is when I am driving to or from work and sitting at a stop light. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-did-you-have-poking-wars-with-your-baby#post-19934 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 00:02:54 +0000 Mrs. D 19934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: It's so much fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-did-you-have-poking-wars-with-your-baby#post-19091 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 00:04:08 +0000 cyndistar3 19091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally did and I cannot wait to do it again :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-did-you-have-poking-wars-with-your-baby#post-19073 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 23:18:39 +0000 Mrs. D 19073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby kicks, punches or pokes me a lot these days, mostly when I'm getting ready to sleep, and I like to poke her back. Do you ever poke back when baby is making their presence known?</p> <p>I like being able to interact with her before I even know her. </p>
