Even though I was uncomfortable, I did really enjoy the last trimester because I got to feel him move more intensely and felt more connected to him.
He’s my first baby, so I don’t know if it was normal, but it seemed like he moved a lot.
He was always kicking and punching, and sometimes harder than usual. My husband was praying for him right when he gave me a swift kick in the ribs. God’s way of telling us he is strong and healthy.
Sometimes he pressed against my stomach and I pressed back. Then he pressed elsewhere and I pressed again and we repeated this a couple times.
He also had the hiccups a lot, which he has a lot outside the womb as well.
During the last couple weeks, his movements were not as strong because he didn’t have as much room to get a running start. I could still feel him move around and feel connected to him.
Here is a video of him moving when I was 20 weeks pregnant. You can see him kicking his legs already.
On a side note, I got lots of compliments and lots of people talking to me. It seemed like it was more men than women sometimes. The men would make comments like, "Tough being pregnant in the heat" or "Man, you are pregnant." It was their way of saying congratulations.
