Confused about question asked at 26 week appointment

[Zoodle]

I had my 26 week check up yesterday, and she asked if i had started to be able to identify elbows or hands etc... i had no idea what she meant and just said that i feel the baby move inside more than i do from the outside...

Does she mean that elbows etc start poking out or something? Maybe I am just being really dumb but I have had no where near that kind of definition in the movements, they are still quite irregular and not that strong...

Yeah I reckon she means bits poking out. I hadn't had this until about 2 days ago. I can't tell which bits they are yet, but there are definite 'bits' poking out at various times as opposed to just the odd kick here and there.

I'm nearly at 26 weeks and I havent been able to identify any body parts. They're just sort of pulses going that I feel in my belly and then every now and then, one of them presses against the skin long enough to feel a lump for about .0000005 of a second.

seems like a strange question lol. im 32 weeks tomorrow and have never been asked that, ive never really felt "bits" either lol

I just feel glad that bubs is moving! I hadnt thought much about what was poking out where!

Thanks ladies, was starting to think i was missing something and that I should be feeling more than I am... the baby moves around quite a lot though... maybe i'll get an elbow or something soon!!!
