Labor Signs and the Start of Labor

When you have made it through most of your pregnancy and are in the final stretch, you enter the waiting game of waiting to go into labor. This can be nerve-racking for two reasons. First, you do not know when you will go into labor, and second, you do not know how to tell that you genuinely have started labor and it isn’t just a false alarm. This episode explains the signs that labor will begin soon and the signs that you are in labor. You will not experience all of these signs, and some of these signs may happen to you but go unnoticed. After listening to this episode, you will have a better idea of what to look out to know when labor is starting, when to call your doctor or midwife, and when to go to the hospital or birth center.   You can read the full article and resources that accompany this episode by clicking here.   For more evidence-based information, visit the Pregnancy Podcast website.
