How to Tell If You&#8217;re In Labor"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Come on, baby! As you hit the middle of your third trimester, it can take everything in you to practice patience for your little one\u2019s arrival &#8212; we get it! Waiting isn\u2019t our strong suit either. However, in all the excitement of getting ready for the little bundle, many mamas forget to ever talk to their doctor or midwife about what to expect with labor. It can be hard to understand when to call the hospital or when to grab all the belongings and hop in the car &#8212; especially with all of the Braxton Hicks stories. So here\u2019s the scoop on whether it&#8217;s real labor or Braxton Hicks and how to know when <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">it\u2019s really time.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Things That Only Happen When You\u2019re In Labor\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IEyKK5SHGIg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4><b>When to Call the Doctor<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First and foremost, there are a few instances when you\u2019ll absolutely want to call your doctor or healthcare professional. These symptoms can be warning signs of true complications, and waiting to call can only make it worse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>You experience headaches or vision changes.<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;Are you experiencing an abnormal amount of headaches, or do you have any blurred vision? Both of these can be signs of hypertension or even preeclampsia, which both need to be taken very seriously. Your doctor can let you know if you need to be seen immediately or if you\u2019re just in need of rest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>You have bright red bleeding.<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;This one may be obvious, but if you\u2019re experiencing bleeding and is appears bright red, it\u2019s time to see your doctor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Baby is quiet.<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;Around this time, you should feel your little one moving about 10 times an hour. If baby has gone quiet or is moving noticeably less, give your doctor a ring. Active little ones are healthy little ones!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Signs You Might Experience<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a few \u201cnon-technical\u201d signs that you can experience that let you know baby is on the way! Keep an eye out for these and know that you might be meeting that little bundle very shortly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cramps and back pain.<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;You may experience both of these throughout the last trimester of your pregnancy, but if they begin to worsen and intensify, it can be an indicator that you\u2019re getting close and your body is preparing for the big event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Diarrhea<\/strong><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;We know, gross, but some report having bouts of diarrhea close to when their water broke. You will be experiencing a lot of muscle preparation and tension, which can cause abnormal bodily functions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Discharge<\/strong><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;You should always be keeping an eye on your discharge, as it can be a great indication of your sexual health and pregnancy. If you\u2019re experiencing additional discharge, it can be that your water has broken on a smaller scale. If you\u2019re seeing some blood, this can be a sign that your mucus plug has been removed. Give your healthcare provider a call with any differences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pelvic pressure.<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;This one may seem obvious as well, but the lower your little one gets, the more you\u2019ll feel pressure in your pelvic area. Strong pressure can mean things are about to happen.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>For Sure Signs<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are more certain and obvious signs of labor. If you experience any of these, it\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">definitely<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> time to get ready to go, mama!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Indications at your appointments<\/strong><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;In your last few prenatal appointments, did your doctor or midwife let you know that baby\u2019s head was down, you were dilated and your cervix was softening? All of these are HUGE indicators of baby\u2019s arrival and that labor is on its way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Your water breaks<\/strong><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;This one is possibly the most obvious, but doesn\u2019t always happen the way they show in the movies. You may experience a large and noticeable gush, but it could also happen in the middle of the night and come as a sneaky surprise &#8212; just pay attention to your body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Your mucus plug detaches<\/strong><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;Some people call this the \u201cbloody show.&#8221; &nbsp;When you notice bleeding out of nowhere, it\u2019s likely time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Consistent contractions.<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;When you start experiencing contractions that consistently happen so-many minutes apart, get those bags packed and call a cab &#8212; baby\u2019s coming!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Fake vs. Real Labor<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So how can you tell if the above is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">truly<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> labor? Maybe you\u2019re feeling some contractions and cramps, but are worried it\u2019s just Braxton Hicks. Below are a few ways to tell the difference between Braxton Hicks and true labor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Consistency of contractions<\/strong><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;With Braxton Hicks, you\u2019ll find that contractions are hard to time out &#8212; they\u2019ll seem irregular and with no rhyme or reason. However, with true labor you\u2019ll be able to schedule out when your next contraction will hit &#8212; 20 minutes from now, 10 minutes from now, 5 minutes from now\u2026.you get the idea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Contractions and movement.<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;During a bout of Braxton Hicks, you\u2019ll be able to move to a different position to find some comfort from the contractions. While you may experience contractions while standing, once you sit or lie down, they go away. However, with true labor, you\u2019ll be stuck with those contractions no matter how you position yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Intensity of contractions.<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;Braxton Hicks, likely means you&#8217;ll be experiencing weak contractions that don\u2019t get stronger or worse with time. &nbsp;However, when you\u2019re going into labor, you will <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">definitely<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> feel the contractions get stronger and more noticeable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Location of pain.<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;In false labor, you may be experiencing pain in your abdomen, similar to menstrual cramps, and they probably won\u2019t move around on you. However, when you go into real labor, you should experience back pain that eventually moves to the front.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bumpboxes.com\/hospital-bag-checklist-what-you-need-to-pack\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pack that hospital bag<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, finish all that nesting and do what you gotta do <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bumpboxes.com\/12-things-you-have-to-do-before-baby-arrives\/\">before baby arrives<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and get ready to meet that little one, Mama, the baby is on its way!<\/span><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Items of the Day<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Trimester Gift Boxes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bumpboxes.com\/shop\/gift%20boxes\/?utm_source=BumpBlog&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=block\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-772180 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.bumpboxes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/1st-trimester-gift-box-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bumpboxes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/1st-trimester-gift-box-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bumpboxes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/1st-trimester-gift-box-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bumpboxes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/1st-trimester-gift-box.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-772186 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.bumpboxes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/2nd-trimester-gift-box-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bumpboxes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/2nd-trimester-gift-box-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/bumpboxes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/2nd-trimester-gift-box-800x800.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/bumpboxes.com\/shop\/gift%20boxes\/?utm_source=BumpBlog&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=block\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-772177 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.bumpboxes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/3rd-trimester-min-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bumpboxes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/3rd-trimester-min-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bumpboxes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/3rd-trimester-min-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bumpboxes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/3rd-trimester-min.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">$49.99<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Join the other 1,000,000+ expecting mamas who love Bump Boxes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bumpboxes.com\/?utm_source=BumpBlog&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=post\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-771983\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.bumpboxes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Bump-Blog-CTA_15-1-300x66.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"66\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bumpboxes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Bump-Blog-CTA_15-1-300x66.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bumpboxes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Bump-Blog-CTA_15-1.jpg 325w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Come on, baby!
