Will sex rock the baby to sleep?

[Kendradawn88]

Well it's almost 2:00 a.m. and I'm up worried. I'm 22 weeks 5 days and having a baby boy. He is very very active, especially at night time. Hubby and I had sex around 2 hours ago and ever since baby hasn't moved except a few times, little bumps. So did us having sex rock the baby to sleep? A few times after sex recently it made baby go wild! Lol. I'm probably just being overly worried, but I can't help it. Also, ive read that at this point in pregnancy, if the baby is facing inward, towards my back that his movements won't be felt as stongly as if he were facing toward my belly. That makes a lot of sense to me. Anyone with advice please comment:)

Evie1029, I stayed up til around 3:00 a.m. I drank some water and ate an apple and he finally started moving. I know he was probably just sleeping and I was being a worry wort, but it made me feel so much better when i felt him start moving;) and Heatherm4, thank you! I back heard it before but didn't know for certain, and like I said a few times after sex baby started moving like crazy so it made me more uncertain.

Yes, it will make them sleepy....the rocking and all the endorphins that rushed through you at that time will make him sleepy.

Did you try drinking some juice or ice water?

In my post it sounds like he is still moving, since sex he has been really still..I've been sitting here waiting for any type of movement so I won't be worried, and I think I felt him twice.
