I am 24 weeks pregnant. why does my baby seem to move more during or after i've eaten?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood sugar: For the same reason that you feel more energized (likely) after you eat (so long as you don't eat too much). Babies in utero definitely tend to move more after a meal or even a light snack. The blood sugar rises an it perks them up. If baby ever not moving as much or enough, always eat or drink something before heading to labor & delivery. Sometimes that's all you need, in order to feel baby!
