So you use your thumb? Do you put much pressure on the top with your fingers? Seems like an add hand position but if it works!

What about the best and worst stages in pregnancy to try to feel them?

:I let the girl go into the cage - as she is going into the cage....I put my thumb under her belly and feel them as she goes into her cage I count bumps. I saw Pete Kahl do it when I was at his place. FYI I used my gloveless hand!
