How do you get your baby to move in your tummy?

During pregnancy, every mother's greatest expectation is to feel the baby's movements in the tummy and respond to various stimuli that are sent.

Pregnancy is a stage of connection between you and your child. Therefore, it is very important that you do not feel uneasy or worried. The many activities make it impossible to fully enjoy your pregnancy.

Babies typically begin their movements from week 13, when "their embryonic process ends and the fetal period begins." At this stage it is very difficult to perceive the movements themselves, if there is movement it is usually you feel more than unexpected sensations of tingling or heaviness in the stomach, hunger or intestinal gas, which makes it a little more complicated to determine whether it is the baby acts, and more so when you're a first-time mother. The baby can only be noticed from the 16th or 25th week, where its movements are more frequent and you can feel it with light kicks and sudden movements.

There are ways to perceive movements and find ways for the baby to move to stimulate those aspects that promote a child's response to well-being and emotions, to feel the contact of his parents.

The baby usually moves when there are changes inside your body, especially after eating when blood sugar levels rise, making them more restless. For this reason, if you want to feel the baby, you can drink sugar water or something sweet to stimulate your movements.

You can also create relaxation spaces, lie on your back, breathe deeply and concentrate and imagine where the baby is, this exercise helps to notice the smallest movements.

Be creative!

The colored lights, sounds, massages, music, conversations and singing are a good way to stimulate their movements as they create emotional and cognitive motivation that makes the baby react and express themselves through their movements .

It should be taken into account that in the womb the baby also sleeps, this makes the movements not so continuous, it is important to identify its rest periods.

Stress and worry make the baby hide and feel afraid. So if you are worried about not feeling it, it is better to deal with calm and carry out the procedures mentioned above. If the baby does not move for a whole day, it is advisable to consult a doctor to make sure everything is okay.
