I have a rotten cold and ate some chilli/ garlic pasta for a "natural remedy". My goodness the little one was prancing all over the place! I think it made her a bit unconfortable..I am 25 weeks.
Has anyone alse had a similar experience when eating certain foods?
:O

Definitely lubella. Chocolate had my DS a-bopping away, curry too. It might be the fact that the hot chilli raised your heartbeat/blood pressure a wee bit too that set her off.

I Am 25 weeks pregnant ,and have found that this baby moves around madly whenever i eat.I thought it was my imagination,but its every single time I eat,more than just every now and then,its uncanny.Its not any kind of food ,but everything.

When in Spain and preg with DD 4 yrs ago, I decided to have "just one last spanish G & T, to remember my youth etc". I tell you, DD was doing somersaults!!

Food and drink certainly has an effect I think.
If I drank coke or Lemonade my ds would be all over.

The MW once suggested to eat ice cubes or ice cold water to get him moving too.
