kicking /moving constantly. ...

I am starting my 9th month with my first Pregnancy and I was wondering if    is completely normal to have so much movement (almost violent..:)between the baby and the braxton contractions (if that's what it is..I guess..) without even mentioning the incredible pressure...does anybody feels like this too?

Is it normal for your baby? Every baby is different.  My boys were all VERY active, especially when I was having BH.  I don't know if they were active because I was contracting or if I was contracting because they were active.  My BH, especially in my last pregnancy, sometimes became quite painful because of the activity and how baby was wedged in my short torso.  What you want to watch for is a change in your baby's movement, a sudden increase or decrease in activity could (but not always) indicate a problem.  Most likely it is nothing to worry about, just baby's reaction to running out of room, but check with your dr just in case.

Baby movements usually slow down in 9th month because baby is out of room. If you can time your contractions and they are coming in regular intervals that is labor.
