1st baby

[Mayyybaaabaaay]

This is my first baby and I’m twenty weeks although I know it’s probably normal to feel this way I’m constantly feeling my belly. I’m worried I’m hurting the baby by keep feeling for kicks and stuff. Could I be or am I just over thinking. I just love the feeling of he or she kicking but I want others to share my experience xxx

Nope, it’s great that you are taking lots of time to bond with baby. It’s well protected in there. Have a little chat with him or her and your partner too. They can hear you and will eventually recognise your voice. I’m quite jealous! I loved the kicks and bumps of my first daughter and we would play lullabies and sing to her. I would sit there watching and stroking my bump for ages. I’m pregnant with my second and I just don’t have the same amount of time now as that bump is now crawling around my feet! Keep enjoying those special moments

Go ahead and enjoy your bump. I was constantly stroking mine and speaking to it. My husband felt awkward so didn't speak to the bump. Now she's born she recognises my voice and the music I would play to her (she preferred bob Marley to lullabies!) But not so much with the husbands voice so he really screwed up there.
