Did you feel baby during labor contractions?

Question

I've read that you can tell its Braxton hicks (as opposed to real labor) if you feel the baby moving around... Is that true? For those of you that went into labor on your own, did you feel your babies moving during contractions?

Answer

It was too painful to tell

Answer

Contractions are so bad you wouldn't be able to tell if the baby was moving honestly it's so much going on you just can't tell anything but the pain

Answer

My water broke at 35+4 and I had her at 35+5. I could feel my daughter moving around even though I was having contractions. I think it was mainly because she was still somewhat high in me. Even the nurse could tell she was moving as you could hear it on the monitor because she was kicking it

Answer

I went into preterm labor a week ago (they stopped it) and he moved in between them, never during though. I didn't feel him at all during and since they had him monitored they could tell he barely moved at all.

Answer

My daughter kicked the crap out of me while I was in hard labor. She's 8wks old and she still loves to kick😍
