Neat bathtub experience, felt baby!!  

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
I had to tell you what happened when i took a bath a couple nights ago!! I would have posted sooner, but I've been kind of busy & worn out lately...

i was using my new garden tub for the first time : ... i filled it up and climbed in... and the water was up over my tummy. not hot, hot, but you know, warm. so the weird/neat thing was that the baby knew what was going on! s/he went up to the top of my tummy. i felt so bad! s/he was trying to climb out of the warm water or something!!! i dont really feel the baby moving around yet, but i could in the tub. i could feel a ball at the top of my tummy (like as high up as my pg tummy goes) and it felt like the back of the baby, i guess. then, when i lifted my tummy up out of the water, s/he stayed there for a little bit and then swam back down to the bottom. really weird!!! i'm only 15 weeks, so it says the baby is about 4.25 inches long, head to hiney, and that is just about what i felt 4.25inches long.

Anyone else experience this early on like me? I don't ever remember this happening with other pg's. At least not this early on.

Mine doesn't like warm baths either.

My tub is small enough that I can run the water so that it doesn't get up to my belly, but sometimes I do it on purpose when i haven't felt him/her moving for awhile just to make sure s/he's okay. It's kind of mean, I know, but I felt flutters very early and then some major whomping and then s/he must have moved to a place where it's harder to feel him/her moving around, because s/he is not a "quiet" or "mellow" baby by any means, and I do worry when more than a day goes by without any flutters or somersaults.

I'm only sixteen weeks along and can't find a heartbeat with a fetoscope yet, so i should probably quit stressing on it and leave the poor kid in peace.

Cool! I haven't had an experience like that but my midwife told me that sitting in a bath of water might help me feel the baby moving
