: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!

you know someting your correct. I place my thumb on top and fingers on bottom......dahhhh. Sometime you don't know if it is food or eggs. I think when you feel three or more in a row is the key. All size being equal.

:What about the best and worst stages in pregnancy to try to feel them?
Don't think there is a better time or not.

::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!
