Baby responsive in the womb

Nikki

So last night I couldn't sleep, and my baby girl (I'm 23 weeks) was moving around a lot more than usual. I decided to tap on my tummy gently with 2 fingers and she responded back by kicking/touching the same area I tapped at! I thought it was probably a coincidence, so I started to tap in other places. Every spot I tapped at she let me know in the same exact spot! She eventually got calm and quiet so I was like aw man ): so I started tapping the middle of my tummy below my belly button while saying her name, took a while but she let me know she was there with the hardest kick/touch I've ever felt from her! Probably to let me know mommy you can leave me alone now 😂

I'm wondering if any moms have felt their baby responsive to their touch in the second tri? I always thought my baby wouldn't be able to til third tri (I'm FTM!) have your baby(ies) been responsive to sound this far along as well?
