Labor and DeliveryRead the Labor and Delivery article » Signs of Labor IntroductionThe first question most women have is, Am I pregnant? The question that usually follows is, What's labor and delivery like? This information will help answer the most common questions about labor, especially if this is your first pregnancy. Signs of LaborSome women experience very distinct signs of labor, while others do not. No one knows what causes labor to start or when it will start, but several hormonal and physical changes may indicate the beginning of labor.

Because the uterus rests on the bladder more after lightening, you may feel the need to urinate more frequently. Passing of the Mucus PlugThe mucus plug accumulates at the cervix during pregnancy. When the cervix begins to open wider, the mucus is discharged into the vagina and may be clear, pink, or slightly bloody. Labor may begin soon after the mucus plug is discharged or one to two weeks later. Labor ContractionsDuring contractions, the abdomen becomes hard. Between contractions, the uterus relaxes and the abdomen becomes soft. The way a contraction feels is different for each woman and may feel different from one pregnancy to the next. But, labor contractions usually cause discomfort or a dull ache in your back and lower abdomen, along with pressure in the pelvis. Contractions move in a wave-like motion from the top of the uterus to the bottom. Some women describe contractions as strong menstrual cramps.
