This concept is by far one of, if not THE most important concept to understand as you prepare for your labor & birth, are pregnant or even educating others! Today, I explain how you know if you're in labor, the difference between braxton hicks contractions and regular contractions, what happens in the body as you prepare to give birth, and more!

Three weeks postpartum now. I watched your videos to help me manage my second pregnancy. I had a C-section with my first and was hoping for a successful VBAC with this one. Well...ya. So I had one whole day of irregular contractions that were definitely uncomfortable but false alarm. Next day mucus plug came out. Two days later, what felt like your typical Braxton Hicks were super regular and fitting the pattern of real labor, then stopped. Two days later, go in for my OB check-up, ultrasound technician kept asking me about the contractions that were going on and I said I was sure they were nothing. Doctor checked me and said I was about 80% effaced and 4cm. Scheduled me an induction for the following week because I had too much amniotic fluid. I was 38 weeks and four days, but she didn't believe I was going through labor yet. Five hours later, bloody show, same ol' mild contractions I've had for days. One hour later was on all fours in crazy agony. Started counting the contractions and they were getting closer by the minute, although somewhat manageable. Seriously confused at this point because I went from nothing to full blown active labor, but we figured we had time and was getting things together and called someone to pick up our daughter. About 30 minutes into it I threw up, tried to lay down and water exploded out of me (lol). We were heading for the car when I fell to the floor in terrible pain, on all fours and body pushing uncontrollably. Told husband to call 911. I felt my cervix opening up and I was definitely worried about having a VBAC on the floor next to the front door. As soon as they loaded me into the ambulance, I felt him coming and three pushes he was out. We're both healthy no issues. But my goodness, no one told me contractions could start and then an hour and half later I'd be able to pop a baby out (especially after a C-section). Sometimes apparently labor sneaks up on you. Definitely listen to your body and if you know there's no way you're going to make it to the hospital, call 911, because my husband was convinced we could make it in the car and was at first resistant to call an ambulance. We live half an hour from the hospital. Our baby would've seriously been born in the car or if we drove fast enough, right in front of the hospital.
I’ve been watching your videos my entire pregnancy and it’s helped so much! I’m 38 weeks pregnant and as of 37+4 no dilation for me 😩 I have a scheduled induction at 39+5 weeks but hoping my baby boy will come on his own 💙
I just had my 5th baby. You’d think I’d know by now when it’s true labor. My contractions never got too much closer together, stayed 5 min apart but got stronger. My husband called the midwife because I kept saying it was prodromal labor like I always get. Good thing he called because she made it just before baby boy came!
Yep... here I am pregnant with number #7 and still watching this!
Baby #5 here and I'm watching as well...always more to learn!
Baby #6 for me, I've been induced with all but one of the 5 I have already here. So I definitely feel I still need this video.
Discomfort started sat night around 11pm. called nurse hotline around 3pm on Sunday because of the intense pain, was told to wait until my contractions are regular ( certain mins apart), even if I went in they'll just send me home?! Went to the hospital around 10:30pm because I was shaking uncontrollably due to intense pain, labor and delivery nurse checked and I was 8cm dilated and ready!!! Wheeled me into the delivery room and baby arrived after midnight. The whole time my contractions were never "regular". I'm still bitter about that nurse who told me to go to the hospital because they'd just send me back home since my contractions weren't regular. Everyone's body is different!!! Listen to what your body's trying to tell you.
I hate when they tell you not to go back unless xyz and then your symptoms arent those but you end up being in labor. Im hoping my baby comes soon!! Congratulations on your little on

I would love my cervix to open up I’m 38 weeks and 5 days and tried everything 😂🤦🏽♀️ Still nothing but I’m 2 cm dilated. So ready!
I am in labor according to this info... and have been for 3 weeks. Just like with my first 2 children. I do not consider myself in labor. Yes my cervix is shortening and dilating (4 cm by now) but it's seems that I need my water breaking to get the more regular and painful contractions. With my second child I turned out to be 7 cm dilated during the last checkup without any regular or strong contractions. They didn't dare to let me go home that way and broke my water. One hour and fifteen minutes later she was born.
Yesss! The timing of this video is EVERYTHING. Currently 36 weeks with my first. A baby boy 💙 love your videos.
I went to my doctors app at 35weeks I was checked and was told I was 1cm! Now all Ivan think about it come on baby boyyy mommy and daddy are so ready for you! Patiently waiting for my Tuesday appointment to see if I’ve progressed some and if my ob will start letting me try and induce at home! 🥰🥰
Same think is happening to me! How far along were you when baby came?
@@josiavanzo7390 38 weeks
I’m 37 weeks and never given birth before - this is so helpful!
Started having contractions Monday that were 10-15 minutes apart the whole day, so Tuesday my doctor checked me and I was 1cm dilated and 60-70% effaced he told me that my body is basically starting labor and stopping. Well it’s now Thursday with contractions still on going and I’m tired of it, I just want her out already!! But today and yesterday I’ve been losing huge parts of my mucus plug!! Hoping that means more progress?? I have my regular obgyn appointment on Tuesday again next week so starting today until my appointment I’m going to be dancing etc to try and get my labor going more. I’ll be 36weeks Sunday and at my last ultrasound she was 6lbs so my doctor told me if she came 36 weeks and up that she will more than likely do wonderful!
But I have to say thank you for your videos because I watch them a lot and they have so much information ❤️❤️
@Mac Gargan I’m clearly not asking anyone here 😂 I have appointments twice a week every week
@Mac Gargan she asked one question and it was obviously rhetorical. This is a channel related to pregnancy where women talk about their experiences and give each other support.
Monica, good luck to you and I wish you a safe and healthy pregnancy, birth and baby!! 💕
I am 38weeks and 5 days, and I haven’t had any contractions other than Braxton Hicks. Doctor said I’m 1cm dialated and 50% effaced so there is some progress being made! I am crossing my fingers and hoping I don’t go past my due date 🤞🏼
@@koalakisser9769 thank you!! Same to you ❤️❤️
Wow its crazy how people can relate. The only difference is I am 4cm. My contractions or 5 sometimes 10 apart but I am so confused on exactly what to do. Idk if im having Braxton Hicks or what. 36 weeks and just ready to get him out. I hope you do good. Wish you the best.
37 weeks, c-section was supposed to be this Monday (it is Thursday), went to hospital last night for 511 contractions I could not stand up or talk during. Labor slowed a little but did not stop for hours while there, but sent home for no dilation. Same 511 this morning, went back. They rescheduled c-section for Saturday morning after I said please don't make me labor for a weekend for no point. I got a morphine rest, I quickly ate and then passed out at home as I had been puking during contractions as was starved feeling. Woke up a bit ago, straight back to the same contractions and nausea. I'm taking it as a sign that this was my time anyway, I just have to make it through tomorrow as it is my eldest's birthday. SO is trying to keep me as relaxed and rested as he can.
HI SARAH. Just wanted to say how much I appreciate your videos im back after 3 years and still need to know about the little things that are still very important. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP.
I appreciate all the experience and love you are willing to share with us moms/partners/parents! Expecting baby #3 and I binge your channel every time we find out ❤️
No I’m obsessed with these videos i need more !!!!!
I’m 39 +3 and soooo ready to have this baby. Just want him out already!! Due on Monday and hoping he comes this weekend.
Same! Any updates?
congrats mama. Any updates?
@@danielladuarte5707 still pregnant! I did the miles circuit and some acupuncture yesterday and he didn’t budge. Hbu?
Thank you for your videos. I started the miles circuit at 10p and ended up in active labor around 12am... this was after having contractions for over 48 hours
Well timed! I’m 39 weeks tomorrow, and anytime I mention a body sensation my mom starts freaking out thinking it means I’m in labor 🙃
Thank you for updating your videos!! It’s our first pregnancy, so I’m binging on all your videos. Thank you for educating us!!!
I had a false alarm. Contractions 5-1-1 for several hours, resting on a couch, taking a nice long bath, trying to sleep and not really being able to waking up to contractions (painful), not comfortable at all, 1cm, no effacement. Had a really good cry and my midwife said the crying is good, will give me good endorphins and low and behold, it all stopped after a good hour of crying.
With my first when that happened for several hours, it was early labor and I progressed to 3cm when I first went in to say "I'm in labor" then they got closer together and I kept progressing. Glad I got a hotel room nearby, instead of the 40 minute drive, because although I was sent away I hit active labor that night and was 5 minutes away from the birth center. So, I thought it was a repeat. Difference between the two, this baby has actually "dropped" my first never did until I was around 8cm, so some sensations I guess I was not aware of.
Perfect timing! 37 weeks Saturday with my second and I was induced first time around so I’m really nervous I won’t know what’s happening this time !
I’m literally having contractions rn😭 38weeks 💗
You video are very educational lots of love from 🇰🇪
My labor is undeniable. I literally go from zero signs of labor, zero dilation, zero contractions to everything happening that day. Both times it was the same story.
Also both babies “overdue” lol
Me too ! So nervous for this one. It’s my 5th.
@@natalierene1 congratulations!
At my 37 weeks 1 day appointment I was almost 2 cm dilated and 75% effaced !
My doctor said she could feel baby’s head
I’ll be 38 weeks Monday !
Not sure when I’ll have my second sweet daughter and 3rd baby
Loved this!
Currently 40 weeks pregnant, had membrane sweep, got contractions every 4 min but since I was only 3 cm dilated they send me home, contractions slowed down the next day (Friday) and now it’s Saturday , I lost my mucus plug and I’m having contractions, they are painful but irregular, every 9-6 min
I’m going crazy. This is my 3 rd baby and I’m hoping for a VBAC. Tomorrow I’m going to the hospital and see what happens
How did it go? 😊
@@jailene8086 Was admitted and the baby was born 15 hours later. VBAC!!! NO meds. It went pretty well but did have some tares. She was almost 4 Kg
This was so helpfu! Thank you. 40 weeks in 2 days & I need this baby out!😂
Just found ur channel today and I have been literally watching ur videos,I am currently 39 weeks and some days,this my first pregnancy and doctor said my cervix are closed ,but still don't understand my doctor he doesn't explain things for me to understand better because it's a non English speaking country He doesn't speak English well and is really had to understand 😢🤦,but found ur channel now and it's super helpful and easy to understand , thanks so much
I’m 38+5 with my first baby so I definitely need this video!!
Doesn't the cervix also move forward? My midwife said my cervix had not moved fully forward yet when she was checking me.
I found this video soooooo helpful with my pregnancy
My water broke with my first to start my labor. I spent my whole pregnancy with my second wondering how I'd know I was actually in labor. My water broke again 🤣🤣🤣 my doctor couldn't believe it happened twice hahaha
Oh my goodness my water broke with my first and I’m pregnant again. I’ve been telling myself that it couldn’t happen again, but this comment made me rethink that 🤣
I just watched your "boost your milk supply " video last night. I was wondering if you had any tips for moms that have babies that bite or are really aggressive or anxious. I stopped nursing my girls at around 8 or 9 months because biting was becoming an issue. I also had an issue with my baby scratching or gripping my chest repetitively that was very painful. I also struggled with baby being distracted and would only latch for a few seconds at a time. Feeding her was very frustrating. I really want to breast feed my third baby who is coming in late April or early may but I'm afraid the same thing will happen. Any advice or video would be appreciated. Love your videos!
Loved this content, new subscriber now👌🏾
Welcome and thank you!
Your videos have been very helpful I’m being induced at 39 weeks and Its 2 weeks away my baby is positioned and ready to go.
Good luck for your labor ❤️🤰🥰
@@camillalissidini Thank you 😊
I have a question concerning this that’s been on my mind for a while! My best friend was two weeks late with her baby years ago and when contractions started up her water eventually broke but she never dilated to even 1cm. After 24 hours post water breaking she had to get a c-section. Is this common?? Was that considered prodromal labor even though her water broke? I’m now pregnant with my first and super nervous this will happen.
Love your videos!!
With my first child I was 3cm at my 36 wk check and stayed that way for three weeks and then went to 4cm. I was induced but he was only two days “late” and I was at a 5 when we started. I never felt contractions in the way of something painful, closer to my due date I had a few times where my belly became tight. Is it possible to not feel early labor?
Great informative video! Question though - how would you explain women who haven’t had any contractions, and yet, they get a cervical check and they’re already a few cm dilated? 🤔 if labor = cervical change through contractions, then how do some women dilate without contractions? Or do they just not feel the contractions?
New place is beautiful
M 36 weeks pregnant n jst waited whn its to go
I am having tones and tones of braxton hicks and when they happen my tummy tightens so much n I feel like I have to pee and sweat alot 😅

If you close your eyes and listen, you'll hear Mila Kunis 😜
She looks & talks like Amy Schumer..
One of your least helpful videos, as someone who is 41 weeks and has had two weeks of prodromal labor
Or early labor based on your definition in another video, because I am mostly effaced and dilated to 3cm and have been for at least a week
