It is pretty amazing to feel those little kicks once it gets to that point, but I've only ever felt up close family and a few friends. 😋 I would say I only would ever ask of it's someone I'm close to. Asking an acquaintance or co-worker seems to presumptuous if I don't know them well. I actually felt my niece kick in my sister's belly for the first time when we were watching Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. Always brings back fun memories watching it now. 😊
