Question

A woman who is pregnant for the first time has arrived to the labor department thinking she was in labor only to be diagnosed with Braxton Hicks contractions and sent home. Prior to leaving ther unit, the woman asks, "How will I know when it is 'true' labor?

Answer 1

Explanation:

She will feel pain in back which will spread around abdomen. It will then increase in frequency and intensity. She will see pinkish blood and mucus on her underwear and

clear fluid. When it comes to labor contractions, they usually begin in the back and expend through the abdomen. Cervical capillaries secrete blood as a result of pressure from the fetus. Leaking colostrum from the nipples will occur through the pregnancy. It’s not rare that a woman notices urinary incontinence.
