    Babies move all the way throught to birth. If your baby stops moving for extended periods you might want to get baby checked out.

    I honestly could not tell you! He was pretty active in the early stages of labour but once the contractions picked up i didn't take any notice.

    yep, both my kids kicked and rocked and had a good old dance party the whole time. even as they were crowning and being pushed out

    It is also their way of actually helping the birth process, they push with their legs against the uterus that is compressing down and that helps apply pressure on the cervix to dialate and later, to help bubs move down into the birth canal.

    Never noticed, but he did get the hiccups for a little bit.
