Signs Of Labour During Pregnancy
For women who are pregnant for their first baby at the time of confinement, they usually wonder what are the signs of labour. This can be quite confusing at this moment since during this period many women undergo stress at its peak. It is also noted that during the time of the baby's arrival, many women prefer to be admitted in a maternity as they fear they do not know the exact feeling of labour pain. Today, Boldsky helps you to understand your pregnancy all the more better with these signs of labour during pregnancy.
The main sign that you are in first stage of labour is the start of regular contractions. Every pregnant woman feels her contraction pain differently, but in the first stage of labour it could vary from cramps similar to those during your period to waves of discomfort which is really pain rending.
TIME FOR LABOUR: Ease Your Back Pain
In the first stage, contractions are usually 30 to 60 seconds long and come at intervals of five to 20 minutes, although it can vary widely from one woman to another. During this time of labour pain the cervix will be dilating from a zero to ten centimetres and then becoming fully dilated during the period of transition.
Take a look at some of these ways in which you can make out when you are going into labour with these signs.
Discharge
When you are nearing your labour date, one of the things you might notice is an increase in vaginal discharge. It is the first sign of labour during pregnancy. It is when the cervix is beginning to soften getting ready for labour.
Backache
For some women, the onset of labour is usually started by a persistent ache in the lower back of ones body. It is a normal sign and a light dose of paracetamol can be taken after your doctors advise.
Cramps
It is those abdominal cramps in the stomach similar to a period pain which is another labour sign during pregnancy. A nice warm shower will help relieve the pain.
Water break
During pregnancy your baby floats in a sac of amniotic fluid which protects it from all sorts of harm. Shortly before birth the sac ruptures, known as your ‘waters breaking. This is one of the most common things you must have across as a sign of labour during pregnancy.
Upset Tummy
If you are suffering from an upset tummy it could be that your body is gearing up to give birth to your bundle of joy. This is another common labour sign during pregnancy and is normal since it is caused by the presence of prostaglandin which stimulates the bowels to open more frequently.
Vomitting
Right through your pregnancy, some women have a problem of nasuea. Throwing up what ever you eat is a sign of labour. Some say that this could be due to a combination of fear, pain and hormones and of course excitement.
Contractions
This is one of the common signs of labour during pregnancy. A pregnant women will feel a gentle tightening and relaxing of the uterus as her body begins to prepare for the best moment of her life.
A Little Light
You will start to feel a little light in your tummy at the time of the due date. The baby tends to drop and settle in the pelvis, helping you to breathe a little easier than before.
Shivers
Even if you are not cold, you may experience shivering or trembling in early labour. This is one of the common signs of labour during pregnancy many women face.
Food Cravings
Food cravings do not stop right through the term of your pregnancy. Extreme food cravings is one of the sights you would experience at the time of your due date.
