If you’ve noticed that your baby seems more active during the night, you’re not alone. Many expectant parents, like Jessica, wonder why their little one tends to kick and squirm when the sun goes down. The reason behind this nighttime activity is quite simple: when you’re up and about during the day, your movements often lull your baby to sleep. However, when you lie down at night and slow down, your baby wakes up and is ready to move around, which can lead to those midnight kicks.
While it might feel like your baby’s sleep schedule is already at odds with yours, there’s no need to panic about their day-night confusion just yet. Inside the womb, conditions are always somewhat dark, so your baby isn’t really aware of the time of day. If your little one continues this pattern after birth, which is common, you’ll have plenty of time to find solutions later. In the meantime, you can track their movements using the tools on the ICIBlog to feel more connected, even during those late-night dance parties.

In summary, if your baby kicks more at night, it’s likely due to the difference in movement and environment when you’re resting. This behavior is normal and doesn’t necessarily indicate a day-night mix-up. Embrace these active moments as a way to bond with your little one before they arrive.
