Can you feel me now?

So I was walking to the bathroom this morning and realized I was holding my belly. I’m not showing much at all yet. So why am I holding my belly?

The baby is not kicking (at least not that I can feel). Why is it that although there is nothing to hold or feel, I see many pregnant women hold/touch their bellies very early in their pregnancy. Am I doing the same because of an unconscious reaction to having seen others do it? Or is there a scientific or hormonal reason?

I do feel better when I do it. I’m just not sure why.
