YouTube Video Shows Unborn Baby Jumping When Dad Blows Raspberries On Mum's Bump

A dad-to-be has found a novel way to interact with his baby before it is born - by blowing raspberries on his partner's stomach.

A video of the daddy-baby bonding session has been shared on YouTube. The mum-to-be filmed the moment holding the camera so it focuses on her bare baby bump.

Her partner sits by her side and blows raspberries on the side of her stomach. Every time he makes a noise, the woman's stomach moves as the baby squirms inside the womb.

However, as with most bad dad jokes, this does not get funnier with repetition and the baby quickly tires of the raspberries and stops reacting to them.

When your baby tires of your jokes before he or she has even been born you know you need to start working on some new material!

When you are 18 weeks pregnant babies become really aware of the voices most often heard from inside the womb, so this is a great way to interact.

From the comments the video has attracted it's clear that this couple aren't the only ones to enjoy this form of bonding.

"This is TOO CUTE!!!!!! I'm 38 weeks today, and my lo likes to kick her daddy in the head whenever he puts his ear to my belly," writes one commenter.

Another added: "I loved this part of both of my pregnancy! Crazy little babies!"

7 Awesome Things Your Body Does During Pregnancy

1. Your Blood Volume Increases(01 of07)

During pregnancy, the volume of blood in a woman's body increases by a whopping 50 percent in order to help support the uterus. Accordingly, the amount of blood pumped by the heart increases as well. As the Merck Manual explains, by the end of pregnancy, a woman's uterus receives one-fifth of her pre-pregnancy blood supply. (credit:Getty)

2. You Actually Glow(02 of07)

If you find yourself looking all dewey and glow-y during your pregnancy, it's not just because you're brimming with I'm-about-to-become-a-mom sentiment; there's also a physiological basis for it. The aforementioned increase in circulation that occurs during pregnancy causes many women's faces to appear brighter, or flushed. And, as the American Pregnancy Association reports, as women's bodies produce more hormones, their oil glands can go into overdrive, resulting in that famed pregnancy glow. (credit:Getty)

3. You Grow An Entire Organ(03 of07)

During pregnancy, women's bodies grow a whole new organ, i.e., the placenta -- a structure that develops in the uterus and provides oxygen and nutrients to your growing baby (while also playing a key role in waste removal). The organ typically grows onto the upper part of the uterus and is linked to your baby via the umbilical cord. After your baby's born and the placenta's job is done, it is simply expelled through the birth canal (although some women, including a growing number of celebs, then ingest it for its reputed health benefits -- a practice known as "placentophagia").

4. You Loosen Up(04 of07)

More specifically, as you move through your pregnancy, hormones (especially the aptly named "relaxin") help soften the ligaments that hold your bones together and the pelvic bones themselves begin moving to accommodate your baby's birth. Sometimes, this can cause a bit of pain and discomfort (if it's severe enough, you should see your doctor), although as What To Expect reports, once your baby is born, your joints will firm up again.

5. You Stop Shedding(05 of07)

Do you have the thickest, most amazing head of hair, like, ever? During pregnancy you stop shedding hair at it's normal rate. As Baby Center explains, most of the time between 85 and 95 percent of the hair on your head is growing, while the rest is in a "resting" stage, before it falls out. But during pregnancy, higher estrogen levels extend that growth phase, meaning you lose less hair and may suddenly find yourself with a gloriously thick ponytail. (Although, as we previously reported, after your baby's born, that "extra" hair will fall out.) (credit:Getty)

6. You Breathe Differently(06 of07)

It's not uncommon for pregnant women to feel short of breath, particularly later in their pregnancy when the uterus grows and begins to press on the diaphragm. But breathing also changes because of the high levels of the hormone progesterone in your body signal your brain to lower the levels of carbon dioxide in the blood, Merck explains -- yet another amazing example of all the things your body does to support and accommodate a growing baby.

7. You Become Particularly Orgasmic(07 of07)

As Babble explains, the increased blood flow to a woman's genitals -- plus the general surge in any number of hormones that influence desire -- can make many pregnant women feel libidinous. And those changes can also increase sensitivity, allowing many women to orgasm more easily. But as with all things related to sexuality, this is totally individual -- some women want nothing to do with sex while they're pregnant. (credit:Getty)
