Im 37 weeks now and getting thoda anxious about how i will even know its time. First baby so honestly no idea what real signs look like vs false alarm. Pls share what u all felt.
Make sure your phone is charged and keep the hospital file in a bag near the door first. Look out for the 'mucus plug' or strong cramps that don't go away even when you lie down. If these start, just call an auto or cab and go to the clinic.
I am also in my 8th month and constantly wondering about this! Is it true that the baby drops down and you can breathe easier before labor starts? Let me know if u find any other clear signs.
Yaar, for me it started with a really bad backache that just wouldn't go, and then some spotting happened. Actually, if you feel those tight stomach cramps coming every few minutes, keep your hospital bag ready and head to the doc.
You can drink warm milk with a little ghee when u start feeling mild cramps to see if they are false labor pains. But listen, if there is any leaking water or bleeding, please don't wait at home. Call your gynac immediately as that's very serious.
Standard signs are regular contractions that get stronger and closer over time, or your water breaking. Honestly, every pregnancy is different, so if you notice any unusual discharge or cramping, calling your gynac is always the safest bet.
