Baby kicking much more and harder in the morning

Question

Hi mommies, I am in week 26. I notice my baby has bigger movement and have hard kicks in the morning the moment I am awake… I feel gentler kicks throughout the day.. I start wondering if , does baby know when I am awake? Otherwise how is he so active when I wake up in the morning. 😅 I am curious to know as I am a late sleeper, I hope my sleep do not affect my baby’s sleep or development 🙃#firsttimemom #firstmom #firstbaby

your sleep will not affect your babys sleep cycle unless you are blasting loud music or dancing away 😅 I find my baby is also quite active when I wake up, I think could be because I start moving position (like maybe when I flip over to my back or when I sit up/stand up). we feel the kicks stronger when we just wake up also because we are more aware at that time, other times when we are working/doing things throughout the day we are not so aware. kicks also feel more obvious when lying down as compared to when we are standing up.I call my babys morning kicks as morning exercise 😆 I dont think baby knows your brain is awake/your eyes are open, but they sense by your movements.
