I am over 37 weeks pregnant and I have been having contractions everyday and the baby seems to move around alot these lasts couple of days when this is going on, does anyone know why or if that is normal.
I tried looking it up online but I can;t find it anywhere and if i remember right I thought they said your baby was supposed to move around alot during contractions but I am not 100% sure so if anyone knows please let me know... thanks

Chances are the contractions are just bugging your wee one but to be on the safe side, call your doctor and explain what's going on. That is what you are paying them for after all! Good Luck!

it is normal to have contractions closer to the end and as for the movement...was your baby already in position? if not he/she may be tryin to position him/herself right...aren't babies cute!
