Night Owl

Hubby felt the baby kick! He's been able to see some movement, but this was the first time he could actually feel it. It was a lot of fun. Our lil' babe seems to be a night owl and gets moving around 9 pm every night. We are not yet counting the movements or kicks, but we enjoy sitting on the couch together and "talking" to baby.

Generally, moms find their babies are most active after eating a meal or something sweet, drinking something very cold, or after physical activity. You may also find your baby to be more active between 9:00 pm and 1:00 am, as your blood sugar level is declining.

Taking time to do your kick counts will encourage you to rest and bond with your baby. Start by finding a comfortable position during a time when your baby is usually most active. Some moms prefer sitting with a good back rest with their arms holding their bellies. Other moms prefer lying on their left sides, which they find most comfortable and most effective for monitoring their babies. Lying on your left side also allows for the best circulation which could lead to a more active baby.
