More baby kicks the more tired I get

I'm almost 20 wk FTM and found out we are having a baby boy. He loves to move and kick, it feels like I have eaten a live fish who is swimming inside me. I love the movement and the kicks but I'm realizing the more he kicks the more tired I become. Is it possible the more the baby is kicking the more of my energy he is using or am I just a tired FTM going crazy and who needs a nap.

    I think you are just a tired FTM who needs a nap. There is no connection I have ever heard of between baby kicking and using up your energy. However, babies do usually kick around more the more tired and sedentary you are. A lot of times your motion will actually sort of rock baby to sleep, so they sleep more when you are moving around. I've heard this as an explanation as to why babies often become crazy active when you are laying around at night right before going to bed.

    Get used to it now, after they are born they seem to find the times when you are the most tired to be the most active/awake/fussy too!

    I will prop up on my bed to watch tv and I feel like popcorn is popping in my belly and I know its my lil one moving. I just rub belly and it seems when I rub my belly the more active the baby is. im 19 weeks 3 days im a FTM too so get used to being tired.

    All my babies have always kicked more when I settled down and relaxed for the night. At least that's when I noticed it more than ever throughout the day. There is no correlation to you being more tired when the baby is kicking, and the baby is not taking your energy to kick and move around. You are a mama to be and growing a baby in you.

    I agree with PP's about you needing a nap. I don't think there is a correlation between you being tired and baby kicks. Just wait until the third tri when baby is kicks so hard you can see it :)

    I've noticed the same exact thing! I doubted there was a correlation but you aren't alone! I'm beyond exhausted when the little dude is kicking around. Oh well! The kicks (especially since they are so new to me!) are pretty darn cute!
