Hi Mommy
Very interesting question, I would like to see what all the mom's suggest.
As far as I know early in the pregnancy (before 26 weeks) babies movements are completely un-related to anything or rather has no definite pattern, their movement is just their body developments and twitches for normal development.
However I think for me my baby has a personality already and does kick or move when it senses or feels something, for example my baby gets very active when I eat veggies, but won't move is the bite contains meet, not sure if is senses flavours it's just a pattern I observed. Also my baby moves a lot when my daughter talks, but not when mum or dad talk to it.
I think your instincts knows best, if you uncomfortable with babies movements maybe they are uncomfortable or don't like something, but sometimes maybe their movement means they love it???
Mind boggling, right.........trust your instincts, mama knows best.
