    Okay so I have this crazy experience that I sure do not tell many people.. When I was pregnant with DD13 we use to play this game. If I pushed on my belly one time she would push back one time, if I pushed twice she would push twice and the same for three times. If I pushed more than three times I'd get two pushes back. The pushes were in the same place that I would press in. Anyone else have such an experience? Any other out-there stories?

    Oh, yeah, we did that, or simlar, anyway wink

    Once, in the bath, we counted together to 5 by poking -- he was almost term by then.

    I'm pregnant now, but this one is much less wiggly. I'll be curious to see if it's as responsive as DS was. I'm only half-way, so this is still earlier than when DS started comming up for backrubs...

    I never thought to do that but I do have a womb story. We were just talking about it yesterday. My daughter used to tell me what it was like inside my womb. She said, "it was hot in there and I wanted to get out" and that there was a "seat" in there! (Placenta?)

    She does not remember this today (she's 6) but she insisted it was true ever since she could talk and the story was always the same. smile

    baby would stick up her butt for me to "spank" She would wiggle and squirm...and then, I would pat her bum for her. After she was born, this was the only thing that would get her to sleep. She loved and at 5, still sticks it up in bed for me to pat. People would yell at me to not "hit" my tummy like that...but I knew it soothed her! lol These are funny stories!

    All three of mine have been like little egg beaters on the inside, and the outside. DD3 was super private, she would hide from anyone touching her other than me, even me sometimes. My midwife miss-guessed her weight by nearly a kilo because she just couldn't feel her the way I could, I knew her guess was off despite the fact I also knew she is generally exceptionally good at palp-ing position and weight.

    I have a HG 7 yo and a 4 yo that shows very little signs of being gifted. I just asked my 4 yo what it was like in my belly. Her answer was astonishing. She said it was loud because of my heart and that it was wet. She also said it hurt her head coming out. I have read of HG kids remembering being born. I really believe that she remembered.
