About this listen

In this episode of the Womb Wisdom Academy Podcast, Carisa delves into the various signs of labor, which she categorizes into three types: possible, preliminary and positive signs. She explains that these indications may not occur in a specific order and that expecting mothers may not experience all of them. Possible signs suggestive of an approaching labor include a low backache, menstrual-like cramps, increased bowel movements, and a sudden burst of energy. Preliminary signs indicate early labor and include non-progressing contractions and blood-tinged mucus discharge. Finally, the positive signs are more definitive and include progressing contractions, a gush of amniotic fluid, and cervix dilation. Carisa emphasizes that birth is a natural physiological process and encourages members to reach out to healthcare providers if unsure.
