How To Know You Are Going To Give Birth

The birth of a new baby is a moment that every family looks forward to. Most parents want to know the signs that the mother is about to give birth.

In addition to the obvious signs that occur when the term is near , there are a few other ways to tell in advance that you are going to give birth and you need to start getting ready.

Early signs that you  are about to give birth

During the last weeks of your pregnancy, your body begins to give you signs that your baby is coming.

1. Your pelvis changes. A few weeks before you are about to give birth, your baby begins to move downward in the pelvis. The child is getting ready to go out into the world . You will know when this happens because you will feel the need to urinate often. This is because the baby’s head puts pressure on the bladder.
2. Your cervix expands. For your baby to come out, your cervix must grow within days and weeks before birth . When you go to doctor times, your doctor should measure your enlargement to see if your body is prepared for childbirth.
3. You will have abdominal pain and back pain. Especially if this is not your first pregnancy, you will have pain in your abdomen and in the lower part of your back when the birth is about to begin. This is because the muscles and joints stretch in preparation for childbirth.
4. You may have diarrhea. Like the muscles in the womb, the other muscles in your body will relax as you prepare to give birth. This includes the muscles in your rectum , which can interfere with your bowel movements. Remember to keep yourself hydrated.
   
   
5. You stop gaining weight, and may even lose a few pounds. Weight gain tends to fluctuate towards the end of your pregnancy, and many mothers even begin to lose weight . Do not worry, this does not affect your baby’s wall at all. In fact, there is a simple explanation – your amniotic fluid levels are lower.
6. You will feel more tired than normal t. In pregnancy last trimester, your nights be a little harder than before. Between the constant urge to urinate and extreme fatigue, it will be difficult to get to bed . If you can not sleep well at night, try to take a nap during the day to make up for it.
7. Your joints are looser. Relaxin, a hormone released during pregnancy, makes your ligaments a little less tight. Before the birth begins, all the joints in your body will be a little more flexible. This allows your pelvis to make room for the baby to get through.

Signs that you  are going to give birth

1. The color and textures of your vaginal discharge change. In the last few days of your pregnancy, you may feel a thin discharge of fluid or some kind of mucus coming from the uterus. In some cases, there may be some spotting of blood. If this happens during the last weeks of your pregnancy, go to the hospital with all your bags packed.
2. You feel strong, frequent contractions. These contractions are a sign that the birth is underway. You can feel twists in your stomach as the uterus expands, ready for the big moment. Some of the characteristics of labor pains are:

• The pains just get stronger and they do not go away.

• The pain continues even when you change position.
• They come from your lower back towards your stomach and can even radiate from your legs.
• They are progressive, frequent and increasingly painful and turn into constant pain that does not go away until the baby is born.

1. Your water goes. One of the last signs of birth when it is imminent is that your water is going. However, this does not always happen, so it is also important to be aware of the other signs. The dramatic fluid outflow only happens in 15% of pregnancies, so don’t worry if it doesn’t happen to you.
