Last night I was laying on my left side feeling my baby move about. She is big... measuring over 4lbs at this point and she is getting VERY strong. Her position while I was laying was such that her head was down near my cervix, her feet were on my left side and her back on my right side. So as I was laying on my left side, she essentially had her feet underneath her body.
I had my hand under my left side and could feel her feet pressing hard against them. Then suddenly she launched herself off my hand and her back and butt went lurching upwards, against my right abdominal wall. Holy smokes! I thought she was going to jump through my skin. Not a pleasant feeling. I rolled over so she couldn't try that little maneuver again!
I'm almost 32 weeks, but she's measuring more like a 34 weeker (according to biophysical ultrasound reports done at a perinatal center). It's amazing to me how strong she is getting! Her feet don't just push back in anymore if I press on them. She resists the push right back and if she wants her foot stretched out, she will have it stretched out!
She already has such personality and it sounds like she will be a great gymnast :) Grow baby grow!
