Labour Signs you Need to Know
If you are pregnant, you may be wondering when you can expect to give birth. There are a variety of signs that can indicate an impending labor, though it is important to note that these signs do not necessarily mean that a woman is in labor. On average, women first begin experiencing contractions approximately two weeks before they actually go into labor. Some women experience back pain or cramping while others experience contractions in their abdomen or pelvis. The timing and frequency of contractions can vary widely, however, so if you think you might be in labor, it is important to speak with your doctor.
While having false contractions does not necessarily mean that it will take longer for a woman to go into actual labor, other signs of impending labor can indicate how close a woman is to giving birth.
