Midway through pregnancy, a mother may begin to feel the fetus unconsciously moving in her uterus. These first sensations are usually a faint flutter, but they soon become more pronounced. As her baby increases in size and strength, she may distinctly feel it stretch, squirm, roll, punch or kick inside her. These stirrings can be felt by someone else if they touch her abdomen, and strong moves can make her belly visibly bounce or shift for a moment. For many, this is among the most joyful experiences of pregnancy. For eager soon-to-be parents, this evidence that their soon-to-be child is developing and healthy is reassuring. For the mother and those close to her, this can mark the point when the expected baby begins to feel "real." Sure, they knew there was something inside her growing belly, some vague invisible thing that will eventually resemble a baby. But when they recognize that the thumping inside her comes from tiny knees, elbows, fists and feet, suddenly they realize it already seems like a baby, even if they cannot see it yet. It vividly appears in their imagination: it becomes cute. The mother bonds with it in a new way: when she gently touches her abdomen or talks to the baby, it sometimes seems to respond. The experience can be a way for a father to bond with both mother and baby, for a young child to understand that a younger sibling is on the way, for other mothers to remember how it felt, or simply to share with friends. Moments like these can be Played for Drama to highlight tenderness, intimacy, wonder, joy, love, connection and more. The way a pregnant mother invites someone to feel her baby kicking — and their reaction — can show how they feel about one another, the soon-to-arrive baby, or the human life-cycle itself. And like much of pregnancy, it can be equally incredible and inconvenient for the expectant mother. Her changing body can feel strained or tender, so getting roughly pummeled from the inside can take her breath away. She might endure restlessness and Sleep Deprivation as her enlarged uterus makes it difficult to get comfortable, so if the occupant of that uterus throws a late-night party using her cramped abdomen and pelvis as a dance floor, it's sure to keep her unpleasantly awake. Because they are ultimately harmless, such aggravations may be Played for Laughs to show the awkwardness and discomfort of pregnancy in an amusing or endearing way. They may be comically Exaggerated so that the kicks are powerful enough to assault someone else, like the Bumbling Dad. Also, it is not unusual for onlookers (or the mother herself) to find it faintly grotesque or disturbing. They might compare the fetus to a Parasitic Horror or Chest Burster trying to wriggle out. Proud parents might not appreciate these comparisons, but this uneasy reaction is surely one inspiration for Womb Horror. It is generally considered rude to touch someone without their permission. Some people bizarrely lose this inhibition in the presence of a pregnant woman and touch her belly before asking. If the mother-to-be Hates Being Touched, this is offensive. Even if she doesn't, it's obnoxious. (Don't do this.) Compare Feeling Your Heartbeat, another intimate gesture where a character feels signs of life inside another's body. Not to be confused with Hand on Womb, which is about revealing a pregnancy. Examples |

The Cyanide & Happiness Show: "Pharmacy" turns this into a grotesque parody of Fighting Games. Two pregnant women, irritated over waiting at the pharmacy, attack one another by aggressively bashing their bellies together while the babies strike and jab from inside. The "losing" baby is "knocked-out" — of its mother's womb. | |

In For What, For All But Myself there's a dark version, as Wei Wuxian doesn’t know what is currently inhabiting his brother and just thinks it’s a monster, so it brings revulsion rather than excitement when he feels it kicking. He even threatens to kill it for hurting his brother so much. Once he realizes that it's a baby, he becomes excited and moves to touch again. | |

Baby Blues: When Wanda is pregnant, she and the family sometimes notice the baby kicking. In one strip, Darryl puts his ear to her belly trying to feel or hear subtle movement. Moments later, he is Punched Across the Room by a powerful kick. Wanda calls Darryl and the kids over to feel the baby kick, but every time they try, it stops moving. After a few disappointments, they lose interest and wander away. Annoyed, Wanda calls it "the fetus who cried wolf." Wanda asks Bunny if pregnancy with twins feels different than pregnancy with one baby, and Bunny spends several panels explaining that it does not. However, while she talks, her whole belly visibly lurches and heaves as the twins fight inside. She doesn't seem to notice, but Wanda stares and winces. |

It's Pregnancy!: Joyce is eager to feel her baby for the first time. When it wakes her in the middle of the night, it feels like a prank. Later, she spends one strip silently watching bulges protrude from her belly and shift across it as the baby moves. She seems fascinated at first, but finally grimaces. Joyce and Walky are competing at a video game, and he is winning. With the controller resting on her middle, she blames the baby and disqualifies his victory. |

Later they are trapped in Ten Forward when the titular disaster happens. Worf ends up being midwife to the child's Screaming Birth. Star Trek: Voyager "Lineage" ends with the EMH feeling B'Elanna's fetus kicking. He jokes that the baby is "feisty" and it must be genetic. In "The Killing Game", B'Elanna Torres is in a holodeck program as a pregnant woman. She complains about how realistic the program is, as her baby even kicks. (This was Leaning on the Fourth Wall as the actress was pregnant at the time.) |

"My Willing Heart" by James Blake: The music video features serene photography of Natalie Portman, pregnant with her second child. She is shown swimming, relaxing, and thoughtfully caressing her belly. In one close-up, she suddenly smiles, apparently pleased by something she just felt. In another, the curved surface of her belly shifts as the baby moves. Though this can be interpreted as a romantic love song (from Blake to his partner), this imagery frames it as a Parental Love Song (from Portman to her soon-to-be-born baby). | |

The baby finally starts moving again after Claire eats a piece of fish Jin offered her. Claire grabs Jin's hand and lets him feel the movement in gratitude. It's an awkward moment for Jin, not helped by the language barrier between them, but for the rest of the season Claire is the only survivor other than his wife that he shows any concern for. | |

In the Kim Possible movie A Sitch in Time, on her first day of preschool, four-year-old Kim is excited to put her ear to her mother's pregnant belly and feel "my baby sister kick!" Her mother reminds her that the baby could be a boy, and her father jokes that it might be two. (It is, of course, both of these things; Anne is pregnant with Kim's younger twin brothers Tim and Jim.) | |

The Drew Carey Show: The Story Arc where Drew spends several months unemployed and/or working crappy jobs begins with Wick admitting that he squandered some of the company's money and telling Drew that the budget can be balanced if he fires one employee. Overjoyed, Drew goes over to Mimi's desk, but as he's about to fire her, Mimi says that she felt her baby (his nephew) kick her. Not wanting to be the guy who fired a pregnant woman, much less one carrying his brother's child, he looks for another employee to fire. | |

We Need to Talk About Kevin: Eva reflects on her first pregnancy. Aside from not particularly wanting to be a mother, she was particularly annoyed and upset by people who only wanted to talk about the unborn child, and wanted to feel him kick, which resulted in multiple people putting their hands on her belly without asking first. She understandably was very uncomfortable with this. | |

Where the Heart Is: This provides the Title Drop. Novalee puts Willy Jack's hand to her belly and claims the rhythmic beating sensation is where the heart is. He irritably pulls his hand away and says he doesn't feel anything. By the end, Willy Jack admits that (besides the other terrible things he did) he lied: he felt the baby and was overwhelmed by cowardice and his own inadequacy. This is why he drove away and abandoned her. | |

The Kedabory Verse: Baby Blues (no relation to the comic strip): The first chapter involves Pepa allowing Antonio to feel baby Catalina (then unnamed) kicking. Shining and Sweet: This is the basis of the chapter "Baby Kicks"; Lizzie, who is surrogating baby Paige for Joe and Viktor, feels a little jealous of the couple when she feels the baby kicking, and expresses to her girlfriend Marlowe that she'd like a baby of their own. Welcoming Chiho: The first time Rosemary feels the titular Chiho kicking is during their baby shower. This pops up again in the two following chapters leading up to her birth. |

Stargate Atlantis: When Atlantis goes into lockdown during the episode "Quarantine", Sheppard and Teyla are stuck in a room together. Sheppard is certain Teyla, who is near the end of her pregnancy, is going to go into labor at any moment, because in the movies a pregnant woman always goes into labor at times like this. A few scenes later, it seems like his prediction is about to come true but it's just the baby kicking, and she invites him to come feel. | |

Star Trek: Voyager "Lineage" ends with the EMH feeling B'Elanna's fetus kicking. He jokes that the baby is "feisty" and it must be genetic. In "The Killing Game", B'Elanna Torres is in a holodeck program as a pregnant woman. She complains about how realistic the program is, as her baby even kicks. (This was Leaning on the Fourth Wall as the actress was pregnant at the time.) |

Revenge of the Sith has a quick scene of Anakin putting his hand on Padmé's stomach to feel their baby (or rather babies) kicking, one of a few moments of them getting to be a normal couple before everything goes to hell. The novelization expands on this scene, with Anakin remarking that with a kick that strong the baby is "definitely a girl". He's half-right...and he's definitely right about his daughter. |

Friends: In season one baby Ben kicks for the first time after Ross sings to Carol's belly. Carol tells him to keep singing so Susan can feel the kick too. Shortly after getting inseminated in season four Phoebe excitedly says she thinks she just felt the first kick. Monica rushes over to feel it, which is when Phoebe realizes it was just the elastic on her underwear snapping. Towards the end of the season she feels one of the triplets kicking one of the other babies and yells at her belly to try and get them to stop. When Rachel is pregnant she notes that the baby always seems to kick harder when Chandler is the one feeling her stomach and wonders if that means her daughter isn't going to like him. |
