Answer 1

It's not a dumb question at all. In fact there are none in pregnancy!! That being said you may not feel consistent movements for another week or two. You can try a few things Put some headphones up to your belly and play baby a little rhythmic music. They really like that. You can try relaxing after ou eat a meal. Generally if you are moving around a lot you are "rocking" your baby to sleep so that might be one reason why you haven't felt much yet. When you lie down lie on your side and you can also massage your belly and talk to the baby. Pretty soon your baby will be non stop and kicking like crazy. Good luck and Congrats!!!!

Answer 2

Try drinking a big glass of orange juice and lying down on your side. The orange juice will give the baby a sugar rush so it might get active. Babies also move more when you lay down, because your activity and movement lull the baby to sleep.

It's still kinda early to feel alot of movement, but the trick that always works for me is to drink a big glass of REALLY cold water. I lay down for a few minutes and she goes nuts! Good Luck and Congrats on your little one.

Answer 5

not moving right now is perfectly fine but later if you need baby to move eat chocolate or something sugary
this also works about half an hour before bed as it makes the baby hyper then they fall asleep easier


eating a serving of milk chocolate every day will actually make your baby happier,healthier, and more active (mentally and physicaly)

Answer 6

Have you tried drinking some orange juice? The sugar content often will make the baby more active. Hope this helps...and btw, congrats, kids are the best!

Answer 7

I used to lay down on my back and my son would start kicking up a storm. This is not good to do for a long period of time because you can cut off circulation to an artery but it worked everytime with my son.

Answer 8

For a while the only way I could feel my baby is if I pressed my hand gently into my stomach. I could feel her kick against my hand that way. Eventually, the movement gets so dramatic that your entire stomach will jump, shudder, and shift. Its really cool, so enjoy! Also, the times I felt my daughter most was when I lied still. When you are moving, it rocks them to sleep.

Answer 9

I've heard of people drinking orange juice. When I lay flat on my back before bed, I almost always feel her moving around. If any of the ones other people tell you actually work, let us know please because I would like to know also! Good luck!!
