Question 4

what does it mean when the baby drops? i heard that this is a sign that labor has started, but what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

Your : Your fetusâ€™s head tends to hang out in the upper part of the pelvis until the baby gets close to labor, at which point, the fetal head drops into the lower part of the pelvis.  The doctor or midwife can feel this on external exam, because the head is no longer wobbling around above the fetal bone but has dropped down below it.  It can also be assessed on pelvic exam as â€œstation, â€ meaning how far down the baby has dropped. You may also be able to tell if the baby has dropped because your belly may change shape.

So what does it mean if the baby drops? Usually it means the baby is getting ready for labor, but the amount of time between when the baby drops and when labor begins varies. If the baby drops prematurely, you may be put on bed rest, but that still doesnâ€™t mean labor is inevitable. However, when the baby drops at full term, in combination with painful contractions that become regular or a broken water bag, the time is coming. Keep in mind that mothers who have given birth many times may go into labor without having the baby drop until the cervix is almost fully dilated. But if the baby drops and itâ€™s your first, itâ€™s a good sign that the time to meet your baby is approaching.

Question 5

what are the signs that i am in labor?

Accepted Answer

Painful contractions: The standard is painful contractions that are every 2-3 minutes and have been coming that frequently for at least an hour, getting closer together and longer. If you have contractions that don't quite fit the pattern and are making you miserable that is probably labor. Check with your provider for when to go to the hospital.

Question 6

what are some signs that labor is soon?

Accepted Answer

Well: Some women get a burst of energy, not all, on some the water breaks, in some lose their mucous plug and in others they just start with contractions. Every labor is different, even for the same woman!

Question 7

what are the first signs of labor in month 8?

Accepted Answer

Please ask your OB: Any regular contractions or increased discharge, if u and baby is ok if u go into labor before 37 weeks  then your doc will try to stop it, if your water breaks then it won't be stopped, so if u are worried call now so premature labor can be prevented rather than treated, and i always get an ultrasound on all of my pts between 34-36 weeks so i know what is going on, and don't go past your due date.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Sometimes.: Low afi is seen as pregnancies approach their due date and correlates strongly with the onset of true labor.

Question 10

what are the top signs that im going into labor?

Accepted Answer

A few signs...but:: You should talk to your ob, maternity nurse or midwife! so, for example: you pass the mucus plug  in your cervix; you have braxton-hicks contractions as often as once every 20 minutes (these are "practice labor pains); your water breaks--go to the hospital for delivery immediately.
