POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy10 months agoA. After 36 weeks, signs that labor may be approaching include:
1. Lightening: The baby drops lower into the pelvis, which may relieve pressure on the diaphragm but increase pressure on the bladder.
2. Increased Braxton Hicks contractions: These are irregular, non-painful contractions that prepare your body for labor. They may become more frequent or intense.
3. Cervical changes: The cervix may start to soften, thin out (efface), or dilate, though this can happen weeks before labor.
4. Bloody show: A small amount of blood-tinged mucus may be released from the cervix, indicating that the body is preparing for labor.
5. Water breaking: This can happen before or during labor, where the amniotic sac ruptures and releases fluid.
6. Lower back pain or cramping: This may be a sign of the body preparing for contractions, though it could also signal early labor.
7. Nesting instinct: Some women feel an overwhelming urge to clean or organize in preparation for the baby.
8. Increased pelvic pressure: This can be due to the baby moving lower into the pelvis and pressing on the cervix.
9. Changes in vaginal discharge: It may increase in amount or become thicker, often signaling the start of labor.
These signs vary from woman to woman, and labor may start soon after or take some time. If you experience any sudden changes or are unsure, it’s always best to contact your healthcare provider.
