Baby kicks during night

Yes my boy is very active at night I’ve been told it’s because I am on my feet active at work all day so I am rocking him to sleep although I still feel him a little but he is def a night owl and if I’m laying face up he kicks at my lower belly if I lay on my right side he is kicking there

Haha same! Do you let him be or do you switch sides?

My girl does this too! I just let her kick away. Clearly she thinks it’s funny 🤣

Same and I also wonder if that side is just uncomfortable for him. Lately I’ve just been letting him kick until either I or him fall asleep 🤣 that’s been working.

@Aina haha that’s a good plan!

@Sehrish when I am facing up I let him be for the most part sometimes it gets uncomfortable I am a first timer so it’s pretty knew to me I toss & turn alot i will say that and I am only 25 weeks

@Jocelin same! 25 weeks and first time mom! Same with the tossing and turning as well. I’ve been losing sleep and kinda running on adrenaline in the mornings because I’ll be up from like 3 or 4 am till the time I gotta clock in and then I crash early! The movements feels weird but doesn’t bother me lol but when I get that one hard kick, that’s when I’ll move

@Jocelin I’m a first timer too going on to week 27 tomorrow and yes when I’m laying on my back it feels some part of his body starts poking out. It’s a strange feeling!

@Kat I’ve started experiencing sleepless nights too with all the twists and turns, hard kicks are definitely a sign I take to move around.

@Kat @Sehrish well it sounds like we are on the same page I had my six month doctors visit this past week and I told her about it it causes me lots of lower back pain she actually measured my belly and said it’s measuring at 27 inches the belly is getting bigger and so is my torso so it will get worse unfortunately she said not to sleep or at least try my hardest not to sleep on my back do my best to sleep on my side that will reduce the toss and turn in a little bit and the lower back pain my doctor told me that the reason why he’s on my right side 80% of the time is because that’s his favorite side

@Jocelin try yoga stretches for your back, it has helped me so much so far. My little guy’s favorite side is the right side too although it’s recommended to sleep on your left for better blood flow but I guess whatever makes them happy has to work for us too haha!

@Jocelin @Sehrish that’s what I figured! I’m used to sleeping on my left side since before pregnancy and I figured that HAS to be his favorite side cus that’s where I feel him the most, but then I just get that itch to turn to my right side. So I end up tossing from left to right and vice versa lol they def have their favorite sides!

It’s their world now, we’re just living in it 😄

I pretty much exclusively sleep on my left side, given the recommendations, but will tilt either slightly forward or slightly backward to get comfortable. She pretty much kicks however she wants and I'll only move if it gets uncomfortable for me.

@Sehrish gurl I can’t sit here and lie to you I am just so tired after work I don’t want to do anything at this point I was doing a few yoga stretches I actually did yoga before my pregnancy and I liked it a lot I just didn’t continue it because it got a little pricey and you know trying to save for a baby right now so that was that but I do have my yoga mat at home you are right I should definitely try it out again my doctor also recommend that to me she said even if it’s five minutes daily it’ll make a difference in the long run I feel so tired I’m home from work after being on my feet for 8 to 9 hours a day I hardly even take my dog for long walks anymore

My baby kicks the side I am on as well, and I just let him kick!
