how much does baby move in labour?

[Cazm2]

Bit of a wierd one I know! Just wandered what to expect first baby due 2 weeks.

I'm pretty sure neither of mine moved. In fact, I was convinced ds had died en route to hospital.

Apparently they're too busy on their way down.

Ok just not sure what expect!!

Don't remember either of mine moving during labour, as other mnetter says - they too busy shifting downwards! And all you will be able to feel is the contractions x

I was wondering this too. Also due in 2 weeks. Interested to read the replys.

I was wondering too. Mine seems to go crazy with Braxton-Hicks and I wonder if that means she'll squirm to real contractions too?

Mine was a wriggler - when my waters broke my midwife lept off the bed because DS's head was moving around it all gushed out! I was wearing a belt heart rate monitor, but the baby wriggled around so much the midwife had to keep adjusting and moving it. TBH I wasn't really aware of it except that I was told afterwards.

My Mum tells me that when I was born I spent half and hour manouvering to get into a better position, while my brother completely turned around, meaning she had to have an EMCS (can you guess which of us is the troublemaker!).
