Does baby keep kicking during labour?

[EJM]

Hi, I dont know if this is an odd question, but do you still feel all the baby kicks and movements during labour.

My baby is a real mover, he has a lot of energy. My mum says its payback as I was like that for her! Most of the time I love it, but occasionally it tickles or even hurts... I can imagine going through a contraction and being kicked in the side at the same time! He's a cheeky thing, so I wouldn't put it past him!

I know this sounds unbelievable (and I wouldn't have thought it could happen if it didn't happen to me) but, my little boy's head was out and they were suctioning his mouth and nose (as there was mecconium in my waters) and he was still kicking me like crazy!! It was a surreal feeling! he was a constant kicker in the womb as well...did not stop moving and kicking from 17 weeks.

Hi EJM

Out of my 4 births, the only one i remember to be kicking me the whole time was my second one, my daughter, she was kicking me right up till i started pushing!!!!!

Good Luck!!!

Yasin gave me one last kick on his way out - it was pretty weird being kicked in the cervix.

I don't remember Oliver kicking me at all.

That is a really interesting question, next baby im going to try and take notice.

Lol, and here I was thinking 'as if a baby would kick during labour - surely they'd be focussing on the task at hand!'.

Mee too ChocolateCatty! I thought they'd get into the zone and go all passive but obviously not!

Ow to the kick in the cervix Dachlostar.

Good luck with the birth EJM - let us know if your little man does kick during labour.
