What are the signs of a pregnant woman giving birth?

In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, many pregnant women will predict their due date. But everyone also knows that if it is the first pregnancy, it is very worrying. Not only am I afraid of the birthing process, I also don’t know when I will give birth. In fact, generally speaking, before a pregnant woman gives birth, her body will show many signs to remind her. So, what are the signs that a pregnant woman is about to give birth?

1. Increased uterine contractions

Uterine contractions are the most obvious sign of labor a few days before delivery! If there are regular and gradually increasing contractions, it is a sign that labor is imminent. Reminder: Expectant mothers should distinguish between true and false contractions to avoid excessive panic that may lead to accidents!

2. Start to see red

As the cervix slowly dilates, a small amount of bloody mucus will be discharged from the vagina. If there is a small amount of light blood, pregnant mothers can stay at home and observe. If the blood exceeds the menstrual volume and is accompanied by abdominal pain, they should go to the hospital for treatment.

3. Abdominal pain gradually increases

Labor pains are also one of the signs a few days before delivery, because the movement of the fetus will squeeze the birth canal, causing the expectant mother to feel labor pains, and the time intervals between labor pains will gradually become shorter, so be prepared to give birth!

4. Lower abdomen sagging

When the baby is about to be born, the baby starts to move downwards and the expectant mother will have a feeling of her lower abdomen falling. Don’t panic if this happens, because it is telling you that you are going to have a baby!

5. Discharge mucus

During labor, the uterus opens to a greater extent, so vaginal discharge increases and is usually white and sticky. Expectant mothers should pay attention to the increase in vaginal mucus, as it is very likely that the baby is about to be born!

6. Rupture of the amniotic fluid

If expectant mothers want to understand the signs of delivery a few days before delivery, they have to talk about the breaking of amniotic fluid, which is also a signal light of delivery. In order to allow the fetus to be born, the uterus will gradually open, the pressure in the uterine cavity will increase, causing the fetal membrane to rupture, and the amniotic fluid will begin to flow out.
