DH just felt the baby kick for the first time

I'm so jealous emsbet! Each time we try baby moves. It's obviously a stubborn thing like its mother! But yay for your DH!

Thanks for the work advice all. So good to have knowledgable ladies at hand for every query!

I've been trying for ages and everytime it's either been too faint or baby's decided he's bored of kicking. Keep trying he'll feel it soon

Emsbet that is great. I am grinning for you.

Ladyboyd stops kicking the moment DH gets close, although I don't think he would be able to feel it yet.

I don't know if anyone else does this but OH said that when I was pregnant with the boys and asleep he used to spoon me and rub my tummy, the boys would then kick him and he said he liked having that time with them of a morning, it helped him to bond.

We just end up chasing baby round. The midwife had the same problem searching for the heartbeat. Baby knows so moves on purpose I'm sure of it!

How's Poppy doing jannine? I miss all you ladies posting on the newborn thread now you've all disappeared to the fb group instead

She's doing super well thanks! Gaining weight very nicely now and her Consultant is thrilled with her progress since being discharged from the SCBU. She is going through a slightly whingy stage at the moment and wants entertaining at all times!! She also seems to have an inbuilt sensor for my favourite tv programmes - as soon as they start she starts to cry!

Hope your doing well and your LO is well behaved for your next scan!

P.S Did anybody watch that Great Ormond Street programme last night on BBC2? I watched it today and it was heartbreaking, it was all about children who have cancer. We've really been through it with Poppy, but watching this programme really made me count my blessings (and I shed a good few tears).

He didn't know what it was to start with, he thought it was me breathing- not sure what kind of breathing he thought I was doing, especially as it was so low down! When I said "no that was the baby" a big grin spread across his face

Glad Poppy is doing so well jannine Maybe she doesn't share your taste in tv programmes

Just had a couple of really big kicks so grabbed DH hand again but baby stopped as soon as his hand touched my tummy
