Pregnancy M - I felt the baby!

[Low]

I do the occasional pregnancy massage... maybe once a month or so (not counting an injured pregnant client that I see weekly.)

I always give the mama the option to have the belly massaged or not. Some do, some don't. The few times they've said yes, the baby just hangs out and I don't feel much except belly.

Yesterday I worked on a woman who is due in 8 weeks. She's having a girl. We did the belly massage, and after a few seconds the baby started checking things out. First she pushed her little head into my hand, then she flipped over (I felt the flip,) and stuck her heinie up. Then she flipped again and put out her hand and a foot or knee, then she kicked me! LOL!

It was really cool. Just thought I'd share.

That is one of the reasons I still have interest in prenatal massage. It is so nice when the baby interacts back!

Wow - that sounds like such an awesome experience! Sounds like she was oh...here...and here...and oh yeah right there...that is so cool!

After being pregnant I realized how difficult it was to feel the same things from your pregnant belly as compared to feeling someone elses. I could barely feel anything on myself, but can always tell what I am feeling when working on a pregnant client.

Although...those big feet stretching out under my ribs won't be forgotten!
