26 weeks : Baby kicks after I have just eaten or when I am reading holy scripture

[sarahhoping]

I noticed silent , gentle movements like all times of the day ,
but I notice my baby mostly kicks after I have just had food ,
OR when I am sitting still and reading scripture.
My husband joked that the baby is going to be a holy saint when he/she grows up .

Seriously though, are baby kicks a sign of distress or happiness?

They are a sign of a living being.

Babies react to the spike in blood sugars when you eat.
You are noticing more movement when sitting quietly because you are sitting quietly. Babies get rocked to sleep when you are moving, and if you are doing things you are less likely to notice the kicks. It is a good sign, they are supposed to be moving around.

They are a sign that your baby has functioning muscles!

Try an experiment - sit still and read the newspaper, or a trashy novel, and see if it does the same. It's not the reading material, it's the peace and quiet, and you notice it more when you are sitting still.

Its a sign your baby is growing. Kicks,movement's are normal.
You notice more when your sat still and relaxing because you have nothing else to focus on. X

@AndNoneForGretchenWieners haha that would make one interesting experiment

Jesus returns!
