How to increase baby movement in pregnancy?

Question

Im around 28 weeks and some days baby is super quiet which makes me restless. I just want to feel those kicks more for peace of mind. Are there things that gently encourage movement?

Jyoti Hegde · Answer

Babies usually get active after u eat something sweet or cold, like juice or a fruit. Lying down on ur left side also makes movements more noticeable. But remember ur not really increasing them, just feeling them better when ur relaxed.

Dont stress yaar, babies have their own active and sleepy times. Have a snack, sit quietly and u will feel the kicks. Mine was always a night dancer.

One thing, if u feel movements have genuinely reduced, dont try tricks at home for long, call ur gynac. Reduced movement is something they always want to check. I went in once for this and was glad I did.

I used to do kick counts at a fixed time daily after dinner, my app reminded me. A cold glass of water or lying quietly usually got my baby kicking. Tracking it daily gave me peace of mind.

Cold drink or juice and resting on left side usually gets baby moving. If movements drop, tell ur doctor.

I am 26 weeks and was wondering the same! I noticed my baby moves most when I lie down at night and after I eat. Glad to know others do the same little tricks.
