Beginning of labor: how to recognize the signs?
As the big day approaches, there are many signs that help the mother-to-be to recognize the start of labor.
- The first signs appear between two and four weeks before delivery.
- You will feel a decrease in pressure as the baby lowers and the uterus pushes less on your diaphragm.
- You may notice a thickening of vaginal discharge, looking like raw egg white.
- Some moms-to-be lose the mucous plug, which indicates that the cervix is dilating.
- You may have more frequent bowel movements because prostaglandin, the hormone that helps the uterus mature, is also the hormone that stimulates the bowel.
- If these many signs show the preparation of the body for childbirth, only waters break and frequent contractions indicate the real beginning of labor.
- Be careful not to confuse these signs with false labor. If you have any doubts, don't hesitate to call the maternity ward.

- Braxton hicks ? Or Actual Labor ? It’s different for Every Pregnant Woman Some Go into Labor Early than their Due date & Some Go in Later than they due date it All depends on if the Baby wants to Come Early or Late & The Mom Health Condition

How many of you were pretty nauseous and queasy before going into labor or at the start of labor? I’m thinking this may be beginning, as I’m cramping up and just feeling so swollen and blech ❤️❤️❤️
