What are the warning signs of childbirth?

How to recognize the long-awaited day of your baby's birth? Here's everything you can feel when your baby is about to begin its descent.


  • The signs of pregnancy can occur 2-4 weeks before the birth or in the hours before, or even at the same time as labor.
  • Thick vaginal discharge, feelings of fatigue or increased energy, and the need to urinate more frequently are signs that labor is approaching.
  • Regular, intense, and frequent painful contractions should prompt you to go to the hospital or maternity ward.
  • The gynecologist will check to see if your cervix is dilated and if you are in labor enough to be held.
