Q: How do I know I am in labor?
Answer(s) to this Question (

How do I know I´m in labor?
Signs that indicate that this is likely "real" labor:
*contractions become progressively more regular, intense and last longer. *intensified by walking. *don´t stop when lying down or changing activity. *contractions are accompanied by a "show" of blood-tinged mucus. *accompanied by effacement and/or dilation.
Remember that labor may start and stop before finally continuing all the way to birth...don´t be discouraged. Any work done at this time is work that doesn´t have to be done later!
Bloody Show
The bloody show is often present at the onset of true labor. This happens when the cervix dilates and effaces - often the mucus plug has already passed. When the "show" is brownish - this is usually false labor. True bloody show will be pinkish and the birth could be only 24 hours to several days from happening.
