I am 6 mo. pregnant, It seems that the baby wakes or kicks more when I eat.Is the baby effected by this?

Answer 1

of course the baby is affected by you eating, the little baby is eating also inside of you. Make sure you stay away from nicotine and caffeine, however.

Answer 2

Everything sounds fine. Think of it from the baby's point of view. You sit down, which cramps his or her space a bit. That leads to waking up, and giving whatever is nearby a good swift kick to get it out of the way. They eventually discover the bladder is a great thing to kick. (They'll just hammer away at that poor organ") oh, yes. At any rate, the kicking is going to help the baby get stronger and work those little limbs. It's also nature's way of telling you that things are ok.

Good luck.

Answer 3

I'm 6 months too!!! The little guy is always kicking or moving about. It happens for me more when I'm sitting or leaning over.
The fetus is constantly moving, it's only as s/he gets larger that we feel it. If you're small like I am then you may have noticed your tummy looks and feels bigger after you eat. This may be why you feel it more than at other times. I personally am very excited to feel him kicking and moving around. I always grab my husbands' hand or run over to him so that he can feel the movement as well, also, at night I will sometimes put his hand on my belly so he can feel it as we fall asleep. He's pretty heavy-handed so I can't always take the pressure on my belly. Even a pillow under me while I'm on my side is too much pressure. If you're really concerned about this, ask your ob. Hopefully this should ease your mind. And CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Answer 4

Absolutely! Whatever you eat goes to your baby. You'll notice when you eat things high in sugar the baby will be even more active. I'm also about 6 months pregnant. I always make sure to drink or eat something that will stir the baby when I go in for a sonogram.

Answer 5

Definitely!

If you're ever worried that you can't feel the baby move as time goes on - and if you're not suffering from gestational diabetes, drink a little something sweet like Fruit Punch and strap yourself in! The kid will be doing acrobatics!

Since you two are connected by the umbilicus, which is its little lifeline, anything you eat is going to have the same affect on the baby.

Answer 6

I think that babies move more during this time because they hear all of the digestive noises... all of the gurgling and movement in there... imagine you put a stethoscope on your stomach, you'd here every little sound. Plus the moving of your intestines and gas and such in your stomach might change the physical environment in there too, so maybe things bulge out into the area where he's relaxing.

Answer 7

I really don't think so. When I was pregnant my son would do flips in when I took a bath. Any other time he would just "chill". I did not take hot baths or anything like that he would just go crazy when I was in a tub of water. When I got in a swimming pool he would not move. Babies are crazy. As long as everything is ok at your appointments and you feel well then it's no problem.

Answer 8

Yes, this is well documented. Studies have shown that unborn babies, having been cooped up in a womb for six months or more, do generally start to get angry and upset over food they don't like being slipped in "under the door", so to speak. They are quite upset not being able to tell "room service" their likes and dislikes. Some mothers-to-be have consoled their babies by swallowing small balls and other toys in order to keep them occupied.

Answer 9

Well like an hour after you eat your baby receives it's protein so it's normal for the baby to move more when you eat just make sure you are eating healthy.

Answer 10

You have to eat well. Avoid sugars. Talk to your doctor about a diet.

My daughter kicked a lot whenever I ate anything with too much sugar. It turned out that I had gestational diabetes.
