How to wake up a baby in the belly?
The movements of the baby in the belly represent a very important moment for parents. The feeling when you can perceive and literally touch the baby moving in the mother's belly is truly magical. First-time mothers perceive the baby's first movements around the 20th-22nd week. Women who have already given birth (e.g. second mothers) can perceive the baby's first movements often earlier, around the 16th-18th week of pregnancy.
It is generally said that the baby is most active in the belly around the 24th to 28th week. The frequency of the baby's movements in the tummy is very individual. If you want to try your baby out of "gym", you can try to encourage him to be active. You can try different ways so that you can perceive the movements of the abdomen more intensively.
Drink cold water and lie on your left side and stroke your stomach. You can try a walk in the fresh air, after which you lie down. Babies often react to increased blood sugar, so drink a sweet drink or treat yourself to sweet fruit. Play louder music or communicate with the baby, maybe he will respond to your voice. A trick with a flashlight can also help - the baby in the belly will perceive the light and will start to turn behind the light source in the belly.
Pregnant women often stated in the forum discussion that the consumption of sweet foods helped them to wake up the baby in the belly. The technique of lying on the left side has also proven itself. Also interesting is the possibility of coughing towards the abdomen, which can wake up the baby to activity.
