Funny Pregnancy Question
I am about 33 weeks pregnant with my third baby. He is currently head down, very low and face up. I swear I can feel my amniotic fluid swishing around when he moves his hands in front of his face. I always feel it just above my pubic bone--I know his head and arms are pretty squished down there but when he moves his hands back and forth in front of his face, I feel swishing. Has anyone else acutally felt or though they've felt the actual fluid moving around? I don't remember this with my other two pregnancies.

I don't remember feeling that. But I do remember my daughter having hiccups often! It took me awhile to realize what was happening.

First thing to remember is that every pregnancy is different. If you are worried about it, I would contact the doctors office and ask them if this is a normal feeling to be experiencing. Personally I have never had that feeling during pregnancy but I remember the pain from the baby kicking me so hard I would collapse in the middle of the store and not be able to move for at least 5 minutes. Or there sharp little nails scratching me and it hurt so bad I thought I was gonna die sometimes. :)

I remember feeling like when my baby moved her head, I could feel it in my vagina. TMI sorry, but it felt so weird. I thought she was trying to break out of there!

I've heard that with each pregnancy you become more sensitive to movement and sensations. So I wouldn't be surprised with new feelings! Congrats!!

HI--
I remember with both my pregnancies that I could feel their little hands moving around like that---I don't know if I felt fluid, but it sure was a funky feeling!! At one point I thought one of them was going to stick his hand out of my body :-)
So I don't think it's too unusual.

Yes, and I swear I can feel my bladder filling up. It's the MOST unusual sensation! I am 25 1/2 weeks pregnant...with my 4th and have felt what you described with each.
