Mum shares incredible moment baby stands up inside her stomach
While many parents would be over-the-moon with some minor kicks here and there or maybe even a subtle handprint - one mum was totally gobsmacked to capture the incredible moment her baby stood up inside her stomach.
The expecting mother captured footage of the exact moment when the amazing baby bump movements began and the recording is unsurprisingly completely blowing people's minds.
Talk about the wonders of pregnancy.

In the video, the mum looks clearly just as shocked as viewers as she live-reacts to the phenomenon.
The mum, Rose Valencia, recorded a massive milestone in her pregnancy when her baby began moving about at '33 weeks and four days'.
Rose uploaded the miraculous clip to TikTok where she has been publicly documenting her pregnancy journey to her followers on the app.
She referred to the experience as 'intense fetal movement' and captioned the video: "Watching my baby move is the most incredible thing ever!
"Posterior placenta means less cushion & these acrobatic moves can be seen & felt even more."
According to Healthline: "The placenta attaches to the wall of your uterus, and its position can be anywhere - front, back, right, or left.
"If the placenta attaches to the back of the uterus, it's known as a posterior placenta. If it attaches to the front of the uterus, it's called an anterior placenta."
The position of one's placenta can have an effect on how visible the baby's movements are while in the womb.
Not only was the baby moving around like mad, especially when Rose touched her belly, but it even stood up at one point.
The 27-second-long clip has gone on to amass over 1.1 million views, with hundreds rushing to the comments to share their reactions to the incredible video.
Many other mums harked back on their own pregnancies, explaining their varying experiences between having 'posterior' and 'anterior' placentas.
One TikTok user wrote: "I had an anterior placenta so I couldn't ever see this."
"I wish I could have this," a second commented, "I have an anterior placenta. Only seen a kick once & I'm 31 weeks."
A third added: "Oh my goodness, my placenta was anterior so you couldn't see the movement like this."
Others, however, were totally in awe over Rose's video,
One TikTok user said: "This is so cool."
"Wow you captured it standing too," pointed out another, while a third wrote: "That's insane."
The video clearly got many feeling broody with dozens admitting how much they cherished the feeling of their baby moving about.
"I miss this feeling so much," wrote one mum, while another echoed: "That's amazing, I miss the feeling."
A final TikTok user said: "It's truly amazing how they move and how women's bodies can adjust to carry a baby."
It sure is.
The mum has since given birth to her beautiful baby boy from the viral TikTok video after being pregnant for a whole 39 weeks.
In a follow-up TikTok she penned: "My sweet baby! I'll miss your kicks in my belly..but I'm so happy to hold you in my arms."
