Yes Definitely!! Go for it.
I love rubbing my belly all the time when I'm relaxing on the couch. It's comforting to you and your baby. It's a great bonding moment.
Sometimes you'll find that it will sooth your baby, or the baby will start to play with your hand kicking it where ever your hand is placed.
Have Fun!!

I've read not to massage that it can bring on contractions (along with certain points in the hands and feet). I think just light rubbing is ok, however I would not do any deep tissue type stuff! Definitely ask your OB about this, my next appt is the 4th of next month, I will be 21 weeks and will ask mine too! Good question!
Congrats on the baby!
Very Best Wishes!

Go right ahead! There is nothing wrong with rubbing the belly it will probably feel good for you too. Now don't go pounding on your belly lol but some rubbing will do no harm. I am 33 weeks and my husband rubs my belly all the time.

Yes, baby will love it! Just do it very softly...don't try to actually poke your fingers down into your belly. Just firmly rub the surface. Baby will come up to get the rub! It's kind of cool!

Yes! Your baby will love it. It calms them down too. But do it softly and not so hard.
