Just curious, for those who had a vaginal birth, as the baby moves from womb through the cervix and then birth canal do you still feel it moving like you did during pregnancy?
-
I didn't feel the baby move. Was in too much pain.
-
@chopsuey119: That makes sense
-
Ditto @chopsuey!
-
@chopsuey119: ditto!
-
Same here!
-
None - too much pain! I stopped feeling LO move once my contractions began.
-
Interesting! Never thought about this before. Great question!
-
Yep! They used the doppler every 45 minutes to listen to her and she would kick it
-
Totally unsure... was in too much pain.
-
I don't remember. I had an epidural so I don't think I was feeling much of anything, other than pressure.
-
@Green Thumb: coooooooool!
-
Yup, I did. I remember one particular rolling sensation when he did a large progress. I could also feel him in the canal, because I couldn't get into a decent position on my side.
-
@looch: ouch!
-
I don't remember feeling her move (especially once I got the epidural), but I know she did because I could hear her moving on the monitor.
-
I was at a delivery recently, where after each contraction the baby would "push back" really hard with its legs, we could see her whole belly stretch out after each contraction. It was the most I have ever seen a baby react to the labour!
-
Thanks for all the responses!
-
This is so interesting! I never really thought about it, but it must be kind of weird to go from feeling the baby move all the time to all of the sudden not feeling anything (but pain).
On a different note - I love feeling the baby move, except during two "activities". Anyone else know what I'm talking about?
-
I didn't. Although it's possible that I just wasn't focused on that because I was trying to control my breathing and get through each contraction. And once the epidural was administered I was focused on pushing. There was really no time to even acknowledge movement.
-
I remember him being more active before contractions started, but I was induced, so I didn't enter the hospital in active labor. I remember the nurse saying that he was active when she checked his vital, trying to move the monitor and getting the hiccups etc.
