More about signs of labor

During pregnancy, a thick plug of mucus blocks the cervical opening to prevent bacteria from entering the uterus. When your cervix begins to thin and open, this plug may fall out. You might notice stringy mucus or a thick discharge. It’s typically brown and sometimes tinged with blood.
There are two absolutely clear signs of labor: contractions that become longer, stronger, and closer together with the passage of time and the breaking of the bag of waters.
When you’re in true labor, you’ll feel the contractions in the abdomen, the back, or both, and they will be painful and strong.
During contractions, the abdomen becomes hard. Between contractions, the uterus relaxes and the abdomen becomes soft.
