Gala evening, around guests, evening dress and then you have water breaks… don’t worry, in life do not have the birth happen as suddenly as in the movies. Just follow the symptoms:
1. Belly dropped
2-3 weeks before the first birth , the child pressed her head to the bottom of the uterus and pulls her down. From the outside it looks as if the belly moved down to the side of the pelvis.
If this is not your first child, prolapse of the stomach can happen on the day of delivery. But it happens sometimes that it is not happening.
2. You lost
If you suddenly came down swelling, and scales show minus 1-3 kg, can collect things in the hospital. This means that you have a decreased level of progesterone – hormone that supports pregnancy. He held up the water in your body.
3. Tube departed
To protect the baby from infections, the cervix is closed by a plug of mucus. Before birth the cervix softens and prepares to release the child, so the tube moves.
