How Will I Know Its Labour?
As well, no two labours are alike. What your mother, sister, or friend experienced will not be exactly like what you will experience. However, nature has its way of communicating to you that labour is approaching. The most common first signs of labor are:
The baby drops lower into the pelvis (This is called lightening)
Frequent bowel movements
Diarrhea or flu-like symptoms without fever
Increased vaginal discharge
Mild contractions called Braxton-Hicks that may begin the dilation of the cervix
Blood tinged mucous signaling the opening of the cervix
A sudden burst of energy frequently called the nesting instinct that often develops 24 to 48 hours before labor begins
Membranes rupture
