Dealing with baby “asking for attention”

Marieke

Hi everyone! I’m a FTM and after 3 miscarriages finally pregnant 18w5d with our baby boy. Everything seems to be going well! What I wanted to ask though is this: I’ve been feeling occasional movement since 13 weeks, which I know is really early so I was surprised at first... and very happy. The moving was so reassuring esp after all the MCs! However these days I feel movement all day long and while sometimes it’s cute and fun, sometimes it’s just not a good time (eg when I’m giving a presentation at work or while being intimate with my bf..). I find, and I guess that’s hormones or so, that when feeling movement I’m immediately distracted from what I’m doing at the moment. Is like my brain is saying: hey baby needs attention! Which is sometimes fine, but sometimes I wish I could just focus on something else for a while.

Does anyone recognize this? And how do you deal with it? I imagine it will get worse as the baby gets bigger and stronger... hope you guys have some tips! Thank you!
