Can you have a contraction and still feel
the baby move during it? I have been having contractions this afternoon but sometimes I feel him moving during them and I get confused if its him or a real contraction?!

In my real contax, no movement. In Braxton hicks, yes movement.

If it is real, you most likely, will only feel pain! I don't recall ever feeling baby move with have a contraction.

I can feel movement in the early stages of labor, but not once the head is engaged and transistion starts. I felt kicking close to the end with DS.

I felt Ds2 moving right up to delivery, even during contractions. Most often though, I felt him move right after a contraction.
