If there is a time when a woman feels even more special and experiencing a magical moment, it is during pregnancy. Having the opportunity to generate, feel your baby growing, developing more and more each day and starting the baby’s movements in the belly is something inexplicable. But that all of us women who have already experienced a pregnancy, already know the sensation, but what does the baby feel? How do they behave inside our wombs?
What are you doing?
The baby inside the belly sleeps most of his day, getting up to 12 hours of sleep and during those long naps he has dreams. But dreams, what do you mean? Yes, the baby has dreams about his experiences inside the womb including all the sensations he receives from his mother.
That is why every pregnant woman must stay away from moments of stress, scares and any strong emotions that can shake and transmit also to the baby who will be capturing everything.
Recommendations to talk to the baby, put on quiet music and caress the belly with the intention of calming and caressing the little one is extremely important. Even when they are already able to move in an apparent way, they even show reactions when they hear voices they already recognize, usually from Dad and Mom.
Third quarter
From the third trimester of pregnancy, this sensitivity intensifies even more due to the completion of the baby’s brain development and auditory improvement. A big question of the parents or perhaps a fact that most are unaware of, is the fact of the pee. The baby in the belly pees did you know?
And 90% of the amniotic fluid that he survives during the 9 months of gestation is made from this pee, but this urine is not the same as what he will do after birth. Inside the uterus, this pee is made up entirely of water and will start to be ingested by entering a cycle of drinking and peeing automatically from the 5th month of pregnancy.
Among the various manifestations that the small baby in the belly can do, some can be seen with great luck during the ultrasound exams that are requested in the prenatal period. And how dads and moms are all silly during this exam and melting with every movement that you can visualize, can you imagine when you witness your little baby yawning? Or sucking your finger?
From the end of the second trimester, babies begin to learn the suction movement , which they will use after birth to suckle and so do not be surprised to find him sucking on one of your little fingers. This will cause the muscles responsible for suction to be increasingly strengthened.
How to Stimulate Baby Movements in the Belly?
Feeling the baby move inside the belly is one of the greatest expectations of women when they discover they are pregnant and we can say that it is also one of the most incredible experiences that a human being can live.
Some women feel their baby move early, others take a little longer, this detail has no explanation. However, one thing is proven: in the second pregnancy, women are able to feel the baby more easily around 15 to 18 weeks of gestation. In the first, due to total inexperience, perhaps even being able to identify the stirring, it occurs around 18 to 20 weeks.
The stirring at first appears as small butterflies flying and flapping their wings inside the belly, which will develop into small kicks and nudges and which will intensify much more until the end of pregnancy, even becoming painful in some cases and in the final stretch. .
There are some ways to encourage the little baby to move and communicate with dads and family out here. Great time for dads to delight and record videos to eternize that moment and show it to the puppy when he is older.
A tip for pregnant women: do you want to improve the pleasure of sex during the gestational phase? Use water-based lubricating gels that play the role of cervical mucus and still control vaginal pH, reducing the chances of proliferation of fungi and bacteria responsible for infections. Famivita has developed the perfect lubricant for pregnant women and pregnant women, the FamiGel . You can buy it here in our online store.
Key Tactics
The tactics are basic like talking a lot with the baby, touching the belly, cuddling and calling him by name. That way you will get used to it and become familiar with the tone of the voice with the chosen name, if you already have it.
Putting music on for your baby to listen to is another great way to get him or her moving. Even some are more agitated when they listen to a song in question, even demonstrating their musical taste lol.
Some mothers even put headphones attached directly to the belly so that the sound is even closer to uterine vibrations and the baby can receive the sound even clearer.
Best Position
A position that also makes it easier to feel the baby move inside the belly, is to lie on your side with a cushion or pillow just below the belly . Be quiet for a few minutes, which you will soon feel the little baby moving and settling inside of you.
Another tip widely used by moms especially before doing an ultrasound exam where they want to find out the sex of the baby, is to eat sweets, especially chocolate. In fact, the ingestion of this food causes agitation in the fetus, due to the increase in glucose sent to the placenta.
However, it is not a method recommended by doctors even more if this consumption becomes something routine, since the large intake of sugar can cause serious disorders to pregnancy such as diabetes and overweight.
If you already feel your baby move normally inside the belly and is worried about doing a few hours that he doesn’t feel, try the tips that we mentioned above and if it still doesn’t work, go to your obstetrician to perform an exam and find that this everything is fine with your baby.
