Startling movements!

Hey ladies,
I'm a first time mom and am 27 weeks. The first of my group of friends to have a baby, so no one to ask silly questions to!
When my little one moves, it startles me so much! Is anyone else as jumpy as I am? It is such a strange feeling, I love it!

I am so glad I'm not alone! I felt so silly gasping or not being able to control my expression in mid conversation. :-)

Yep for the longest time I could not conceal being startled when baby would move around and poke and prod things inside. I know I flinched and jumped and made noises and people looked at me funny but hey how can you help it when something just jabbed you in the ribs or sciatic nerve or hooha? Near the very end now the movements aren't as startling so I don't jump at every little thing now.
