In a pregnant woman does the baby move after eating?

Answer 1

Yes. Now that I'm in my third trimester, my baby seems to move a LOT almost instantly after I begin eating something. I found the answer to why this is on another site: "The baby moves because eating and drinking raises the mother blood sugar and the baby responds positively to that." I had wondered what it was that made the baby move so much since the food obviously hadn't even had time to reach my stomach yet. Blood sugar is raised very quickly though and doesn't require the food to actually reach your stomach before entering the blood stream.
