Question

My little one kicks a lot throughout the night.  So, I had this quick panic thinking that this may result in a baby who is more active and awake in the middle of the night when she is born. 
Is this crazy? 
Has anyone experienced this as fact? 
Send thoughts my way please!

Answer

What typically happens is, while you are up and moving during the day, it rocks the baby to sleep. Once you lay down at night, there is no movement to rock baby to sleep.  I am pregnant with my 4th and all of my babies have been more active when I am sleeping or not moving. I've never had night time issues once they were born.

Answer

Not necessarily, i guess. My son used to kick SO MUCH all night long and I thought id never sleep. But hes 2 now and has slept through the night since the day he came home from the hospital.

Answer

My kids were all most active around 3 am. Only one of them hated sleep and made me crazy. Their patterns while in utero are not the same when out. My most chill baby while I was pregnant was the one who didn't sleep for 6 months. My most active,  slept through the night at 6 weeks. So every baby is different,  no worries!

Answer

When babies are born they have to learn what night and day is. Just like eating, walking, potty training, they have to learn how to sleep. You will get a rhythm down when your baby is here! During the day keep windows open and lots of natural light, then when it’s time to wind down for bedtime make sure lights are off, it’s quiet and calm. As your baby gets older they will be on a schedule a little more and will know that daytime is for naps and playtime and nighttime is for sleeping.  But at first newborns sleep all the time so soak all that up😂

Answer

I've read that babies tend to keep similar patterns to what they did in utero, at least for a little while after birth. But honestly, our babies are all going to wake up a lot at night, no matter what. And besides, just because you feel your baby moving doesn't mean that he or she is actually awake.
