ftm just have a few questions.....

Should I feel my baby move while I'm having contractions?
Do contractions make you feel Like you have to poop?
in-between contractions should my stomachs get soft like its relaxing or once contractions start will it stay hard even in-between them?

With my first child,  I had no clue what contractions felt like. I thought the baby was moving too much, and each time he moved it was getting more and more painful.  As the movements and pain increased,  it dawned on me that I was having contractions. God bless

Every baby is different but my daughter was extremely active during contractions. I didn't feel the need to poop until she started moving down into the birth canal which was about thirty minutes before i started pushing. Your stomach will not stay hard all the time. It will relax in between contractions. Well mine did anyways.
