How do I know I am in labor?

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.
