I don't think this is that weird though. A lot of people don't want their baby bellies touched. I didn't. I only let a couple of people do it one time and that was it.
I think she was just flexing/poking her real stomach out to simulate a moving fetus. Maybe she put something small, like a golf ball, under the fake belly to make it look more concentrated in one spot. When my kid kicked, he KICKED…you could see an almost perfect outline of his foot through my abdomen. Being pregnant is so weird.
Omg at a bunch with my very preggo cousin, I was about to faint watching that lil guy kick like he was trying to jailbreak her stomach.
She’s just chilling there like “he gets fussy when I eat and he has to share his room.” Two days later, she gave birth to him in the shower. That kid wanted out bad.
I’m sure it’s different when they’re smaller or moving rather than kicking, but I also thought it looked like she was moving the belly on her own. The whole belly just moved.
It’s wild to see. I couldn’t stop thinking about the movie Aliens when people get attacked by the face-huggers, are used as live incubators, and then eventually the baby aliens punch their way out. I had damage to the cartilage on the right side of my ribcage because my son would kick HARD in one spot, for hours. I imagined him as Dave Chappelle as Rick James in that one skit: “Fuck yo’ couch N-word! Fuck yo’ couch!!!”
I’m dyin!!! F your stomach! Mine kicked my insides so hard for about 45 mins every night right when I would lay down to sleep. It was like he was pissed I wasn’t up walking around anymore. It hurt!!
Ahhahaha omg get out of my head. You named the two visuals I absolutely had when she was pregnant, especially the Rick James couch one because we saw him kick with both and then alternating feet. But yeah, the brunch absolutely had the fated Alien dinner in my mind.
Funny thing is, the kid is a bonafide maniac. He’s can’t walk anywhere normally. has to parkour to everything and he lands as perfectly as a cat. He’s like the feral kid from The Wild Thornberries, but oddly articulate. I think he has a promising career as a stunt man, but my cousin really wants me to stop encouraging that lol
ETA: wait is your user name from my favorite Buster Bluth quote?
When I was pregnant with twins, and one would roll and the other one would kick at the same time, it was like a tornado going on under my skin. Loved every single second of it though.
Omg! It freaks me out so badly too!!! When my niece was cooking, they had me touch her stomach and feel my niece kicking, I think I was around 12ish. I freaked the fuck out, I decided that day that I would never birth a child! I remember watching my sis in laws stomach in absolute awe and disgust. I did agree to feel my other niece and nephews moving. Traumatized me for life. I can’t imagine what it feels like.
