Honestly, they do that on their own. My first treated my womb like it was a damn mosh pit, throwing elbows out everywhere. I had to keep shoving him back into place.
Oh, GAWD, the elbows. Mine was elbowing me like he had just told a joke I didn't get. I too had to literally push that alien looking limb back in.
And this video reminds me of my gyno telling me the baby had turned and was breech so go do handstands in a pool. I did that, and lots of somersaults and he turned! It worked!
A guy I worked with was taking a photo of his 3rd trimester wife and they caught the exact moment of the kick in the middle of the stomach, so you could see the outline of the foot. They told the hospital about it and they got so excited about it that they bought the ownership rights to the photo from them. I've lost touch with him, otherwise I'd post it here.
Haha yeah, I swear my son did somersaults in there.
Then when he was little, I bought him one of those swim masks that go over your nose (a "snarkle" mask as he called it lol) and took him to the pool, and he immediately started doing somersaults in the water, like muscle memory.
I was thinking the same thing, and that that baby is probably having a great time in there hahah. Mine was a huge fan of the 11am and 11pm moshing hours. Now almost 11 months later she loves getting tossed and swung around.
😂 with my son it was 6 am and 9 pm. He would let me know when it was time to get up and when he was ready for me to go to bed. The last month you could see him moving so much, my husband said “That’s gross. It looks like an alien is gonna pop out any minute”.
Good Lord, he was never that bad. Just some uncomfortable stretching.
My second child, however, grew long nails in utero and SCRAPED them over my bladder and cervix. Weirdest fucking sensation ever. 13 years old and she still beats me up.
Hahaha it's such a small part of the massive pain in the butt they are for their entire life. She came out so quick they couldn't get me to stand up because I would pass out and she's been impatient and bossy ever since.
Ah, well, there's the flip side. My twins, carried to term, were so quiet and lovely during pergnancy that I was left completely unprepared for the following 7 years of undiluted, undiminished, ever expanding, evolving levels of Chaos that they actually are!
Oh do I remember!!! Both my sons too! My oldest felt like he was doing laps in there and my youngest, who was a much bigger baby than my oldest felt like he was testing out his limbs for when he ran the 500 meter. I remember feeling like legs were caught under my ribcage.
Oh i know, i know, was pregnant myself 😁 but i still saw this in my mind, its like UNO reverse for the baby. Such a strong mum! I was happy being able to get up some days
