Did you know that 90% of labors start with contractions and not with the bag of waters releasing???⁠

How about that? Labor looks different than entertainment likes to portray it 🤪⁠

These are signs that you are in early labor:⁠

🤍Contractions are developing a pattern.⁠

🤍You feel you need to move. Try sitting on a fitness ball or walking up and down stairs.⁠

🤍Your contractions start at your low back and wrap around to your front.⁠

🤍You've changed your activity, but your contractions didn't stop.⁠

🤍Contractions are lasting longer and getting stronger.⁠

🤍You have pink-tinged discharge (indicating cervical change) and may pass the mucus plug.⁠

🤍Water releases in a trickle or gush.⁠
