Poll: feeling the baby/babies kick

[manybellsdown]

We need more June polls.  Inspired by Andrea's check-in gif, I've come up with this one.  I would also lobby for someone to post a random poll, with any dumb or awesome question, every single day.  I like clickies.

That said, how often do you feel the movement?  I'm in the all day, erry day camp.  I also eat a lot of sugar, so.

All day, erryday. Sugar or no sugar. Caffeine or no caffeine. She does not care. Full blast. At all times.

We are in trouble.

[vlinder]

Most often--when sitting down after I eat. She's relatively active all the time though.

[nitecheese]

After I eat and in the middle of the night are most common, especially if sugar is involved.

[pbandj714]

One or both are pretty active most of the day, but the times I can always count on movement are in the morning when I first sit down at my desk to work, in the evening when watching TV or laying down to sleep, and especially after meals!

pbandj714, can you tell baby A from baby B? I feel almost all of my movement in 1 quadrant (top right), I can't tell if it's both babies or just 1 and the other is hidden down low and/or facing my back.

[twobananas]

Mine is pretty random, but it's more likely that I just haven't noticed the pattern. The kicks are getting strong, which I love!

I usually can (I think?!). Baby A is facing my back, so it's kicks/punches are not nearly as forceful as Baby B's (who's facing forward). Baby B is also transverse currently, so sometime when it kicks Baby A, then A goes crazy and it gets intense in there!

This little guy has a pretty set schedule, which is the total opposite of DS. DS moved all.the.time.

This one wakes up at around 7 each morning when I'm driving to work, and then I feel him off and on through the day. He wakes up from napping at around 5:30 every day and is pretty consistently active through the evening. I'm praying that he sticks to this routine after he's born!!

[woodengirl07]

She moves the most about 4:00pm though the evening. Her biggest down time is mid-morning, nap time I guess.

[sandandsea]

Usually he's most active right around 5:15 when I'm driving to DC to pick up DS. It's also the first time I'm just sitting and not busy working/thinking/concentrating during the day. Same happens as soon as I lay down for bed.

I also feel randoms throughout the day and after I eat/drink.

[sandandsea]

Also, I'm hoping these times work out much better than with DS who was most active from 2AM-4AM and then was most awake those hours the first 2 weeks of his life.

[titania]

She is definitely most active after lunch and dinner and a bit more when I first lay down at night. Not usually during the night and definitely not in the morning... she is not a morning baby

[Kevinmac]

He moves in the morning around 6ish for a bit, and then it's really just odd times throughout the day. He likes the evening too after I eat dinner. DH hasn't felt him yet. He was moving all over the other night, and when I called DH over he stopped

[txmommy14]

I don't feel like this LO moves as much as DS did, but maybe I only have memories from the end with DS or it's because this one is smaller? Who knows!

[babyzebra]

I feel her a little throughout the day, but mostly in the evening after I can finally sit down for the day. It's about the same amount of movement that I felt with DS. I don't ever have those constant or really strong movements that other people describe, but I think I might have an anterior placenta again.

[packerfan4life]

I feel movement throughout the day but it tends to be the most in the evening

[amiet79]

He moves throughout the day, but he is most active in the evening when I finally have the chance to sit down.

[nymama917]

I feel most of the really strong consistent movement in the evenings. I do get bursts of energy after I eat as well. I can feel her on and off throughout the day and it's far more often than I felt the first one. It's actually really nice and reassuring.

[vivela]

Mostly in the evening, but I think it has more to do with what I'm doing than the time. If I sit back and relax for a couple minutes he will generally get going. During the day I'm mostly on my feet, but a few times when I've felt the need for a bit of reassurance, I've deliberately sat down and been still for a bit and he will wiggle around.

All day long and today's hiccups couldn't have been more poorly timed because I was trying to administer a state test when they happened.
