babys movements during labor?

Question

i'm beginning to wonder if i'm in labor (lost of back pain), but the baby is moving all over. my mom said when she was in labor, shes prety sure she didnt notice much movement, but might just not have been paying attentin bc of the pains. do babys slow down their movement during labor? or move more? maybe stay like always??? lol

Answer 1

My baby moved a lot all the time, and that included during labor. He was kicking and got a foot up by my rib cage that made my contractions hurt a lot for a while!

I'd say it depends on the baby. The very active ones stay active during labor. Most tend to move less though. There is no reason to be concerned unless you feel no movement for several hours.

Good luck to you, mama! =)
