One big difference between this pregnancy
and my first is the ability to feel the baby’s parts. It’s
amazing. With Lex, the midwives could feel big things like
head, butt, back, etc. But I could only ever feel a big, solid
lump. This time around, I can feel individual parts inside,
especially when baby is moving a lot. I don’t know exactly what
they are, but if I press on my belly I can feel something bump
under my fingers and go by, like baby just turned over and I
felt the arm pass by. Again, I’m never sure exactly what part
it is, but it’s pretty amazing to feel. Sometimes my belly just
feels lumpy (when the BH contractions are giving me a few
minutes of relief) and you can just poke around and feel little
hills and valleys in the belly. Very cool , in an alien inside
sort of way!
