Baby Movement Through Labor Stages?

Carebella · November 2014

So even with all the contraction and birth story threads I don't remember seeing this talked about much. How much did/does baby move once labor actually starts? Has anyone still felt LO moving once they were in early labor? Or active labor?

I know I should trust that when contractions start I'll know. But at my last midwifery appointment, what I thought was baby moving was pointed out as a BH contraction by the midwife. Most of what I feel seems like baby moving to me. But after the appointment every movement, cramp, twinge has me wondering

My mom is convinced that a slow down in movement means labour is imminent.

That being said, my mom is a little crazy and hasn't given birth since 1982, so take it with a grain of salt.

I def felt LO moving up til 3-4 min apart and like usual leading up to a very surprising start to labour. After that all I felt was major discomfort/pain from contractions. My LO also always moved around same time as BHs. It was almost like the BH pissed him off, so maybe you ARE feeling LO.

Thanks for posting this (: I actually googled it, and found threads from past moms. But I'd rather hear what the N14 moms experienced lol

I was too distracted from the pain to notice.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but in my final pushes I thought i felt the baby twitching or just moving in the birth canal, very close to exit. It was soooo weird
