Haha, I'm the same. Once I know people and I'm comfortable with them I can chat away, but that can take a long time. And if I'm with loud people I tend to get lost in the crowd. Yet at the same time I'm quite opinionated and not particularly meek, it's just I'd rather not do big groups.
Mellie, perhaps he was lying head up or feet up and straightening out? I can feel when mine is lying across because I get a head poking out one side and feet out the other at the same time, as if she's stretching out.
I'm going to go and find a book to read to her soon as I read that if you read a book to them in the womb, they often settle quickly if you read it to them when they are born because they recognise it. Worth a try!
