During one of my ultrasounds, they had me drink lemonade to get a clearer picture of him. He was stubborn and required coaxing to be seen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-position-to-feel-early-baby-movements#post-1425528 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 19:05:15 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1425528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was always after lunch too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-position-to-feel-early-baby-movements#post-1425503 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 18:46:16 +0000 Mae 1425503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>laying flat on my back right before bed. Particularly if I played her music. A little kanye/jay-z (anything with bass!) on my phone sitting on my stomach was almost always good for a thump or two those first few weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-position-to-feel-early-baby-movements#post-1425497 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 18:42:29 +0000 daniellemybelle 1425497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt the first movements laying flat on my back. Then as time progressed I would feel her sitting at my desk at work after lunch or a sugary drink. I think it was more the food/drink than the position.</p> <p>So happy for you - it's the best feeling! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-position-to-feel-early-baby-movements#post-1424805 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 14:24:46 +0000 nana87 1424805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any advice really about positions, but I can commiserate about not feeling those early movements! The first movements I felt were around 18.5 weeks, not long after lunch when I was sitting at a desk. It was really subtle-- it felt like someone was brushing up against me from the inside (which obviously it was, lol). But it didn't feel like a definite kick or anything until later. Apparently lying down not long after you eat can help you feel baby--they get a little energy burst after food--but I felt those first movements sitting, not lying down (and my heartburn is bad if I lie down after eating, so that's no fun for me!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-position-to-feel-early-baby-movements#post-1424790 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 14:21:57 +0000 Bao 1424790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Laying flat on my back was best for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-position-to-feel-early-baby-movements#post-1424775 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 14:18:10 +0000 mlm2934 1424775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is there a best position to feel early baby movement? I'll be 18 weeks tomorrow, and I will say there were maybe 3 or 4 times this week, that I thought I might have felt something that could have been the baby. They were all at night laying in bed on my stomach. I'm not convinced it wasn't just wishful thinking though because I want that reassurance so bad!</p> <p>Anyways, for early baby movements (like the first two weeks of movement) were there certain times of day and positions when you normally felt it? I've never thought I felt anything while sitting up for example. </p> <p>thanks ladies. </p>
