Violence In Utero
I got punched! Silly baby, beating on daddy like that. Heh.
But seriously, this is only the second time I have felt the baby, who can be beating Deb mercilessly but will helpfully stop the second my hand meets belly. This time it was just after I set my hand there, not expecting anything, and felt a THUMP-thump. Got a reportedly Christmas morning look on my face and looked to Deb for confirmation.
She said it had to be a punch, because the kicks were getting her elsewhere near the same time. Unless of course the little gymnast flipped around just for that.
The baby reliably kicks the doppler in disgust. Last time it was right where the thing was touching the belly, hard enough to make it jump in the midwife’s hand. Yet usually I get nothing. Guess I don’t emit enough sound waves or something.
