how do you get your baby moving?

Question

what do you mommas do to get your baby kicking? I've been trying baths and poking at my tummy, but I'm starting to get a little worried because I have yet to feel my baby. I know that they are alive because I have had no complications and we can hear the heartbeat. Just an anxious mother I suppose so any and all advice is welcome.

Answer

Drink ice water! And then lay down

Answer

If your placenta is anterior (located toward your belly button), you may not feel baby until much later in pregnancy. I happened to feel my LO at 16.5 wks, but my placenta is on the right & this kid is constantly moving. It wasn't until 18wks that I could definitively feel baby kick. Each kid is different too- some are wigglers, some are chill. Sugary drinks always seems to encourage wiggles.

Answer

Lots of cold water and then lay down. Works like a charm for me!

Answer

Caffeine id say. I drank a faor bit today (first time in my whole pregnancy of 17w) and there was some proper squirming going on. I imagine its babys reaction to your bodys reaction to caffeine

Answer

Any amount of sugar/caffeine spike that's out of typical consumption (obviously nothing crazy), belly rubs, and I've heard but yet to try that shining a flashlight on your belly can get them wriggling. Right now it still doesn't feel like much other than a tickle or a twitch, but if you pay really close attention to your body, you'll begin to be able to differentiate their movement from any other sensation in your abdomen (cuz we have a lot of them!)

Answer

Get comfortable..... 😂😂😂😩😭

Answer

Laying on my back usually gets her moving. But not everyone feels their baby as soon.

Answer

Pretty much every time I eat or have some pop or after walking a lot and then sitting down for awhile. Don't worry everyone is different. My baby is probably going to be huge! Lol.

Answer

Sitting still and quiet usually wakes me peanut up. Don't worry - soon enough you will feel the constantly!  I felt the first flutters two weeks ago and now I feel it moving randomly all day.
