I am 31 weeks pregnant, and for almost 10 weeks now, maybe a little less, my little girl goes nut when she hears my husband's voice or feels his hand on my belly. I am dead serious: it can be 4:30 a.m., he'll wake up and put his hand on my belly and she'll thump around in the exact spot. Five minutes can pass, he'll do it again, and she'll kick right back. Also, when he sings or talks on my belly, she kicks his face. hahaha! When I got my 3D ultrasound, the tech tried to jostle my stomach and get her to move and talked to her, but she wouldn't budge. My husband talked to her and rubbed my belly and she moved and kicked around. Several family members and friends have tried to mimic this approach with her, and no one can get her to respond.
I'm just wondering if anyone out there has experienced this. We think it's the coolest thing in the world. :)

Consider yourself lucky. The baby is responding to the father. When my oldest son was in the womb, he went nuts everytime we went to a hockey game or there was one on TV. One never knows what they will respond to, but it is not uncommon for the baby to identify with specific or individual stimuli. Congrats.

That's cool:) I have noticed the same thing with the child I am carrying. There is a major difference in how the baby reacts when my son touches my stomach and talks to the baby and when my daughter does. The baby is guaranteed to respond to my son and won't respond to my daughter. She feels left out sometimes.

That is totally awesome and such a kick!!
My little girl loved listening to daddy's voice (not the touching part) and would dance when he would talk or sing. Now she loves playing and being with him SOOOO much.
It is awesome and you definitely have a daddy's girl coming.

They told us that was common in our child birth class. A lot of dads talked about how awesome it was for them. lol, BUT my poor husband had different problems! My mom, sister, aunt and even his mom could all talk and play with her when she was still in side. She responded with kicks and punches and so forth. But when he would try, she would go silent! Every time he would try to feel her kick, she would stop. He kind of got frustrated lol, I felt bad for him then actually. Good Luck though!!!
