silly question..

During contractions is it normal for the baby to be moving? I think I'm experiencing contractions; dull pain in back then I feel it coming and it feels like my back muscles are being stretched apart and the feeling moves to my belly all the way down to my cervix. (FTM don't really know what to expect or suppose to be feeling)

Totally normal! I asked my OB about it and he said it's actually a good sign. Means the baby is getting plenty of oxygen and just might be annoyed by the tightening. This is my 3rd and the first time I've ever had a baby go crazy during contractions. Freaked me out at first!
