Are there differences in the signs of labor in a full-term pregnancy compared to a preterm pregnancy?

7mo trước

Signs of labour in a preterm pregnancy may have contractions that are less regular, may not follow a consistent pattern, and may not become progressively stronger. While you should still feel foetal movements, the pattern and strength of movements may be different than in a full-term pregnancy. Preterm labor is a serious concern, as babies born prematurely may face health risks and require specialised medical care. If you experience any signs of preterm labor, such as regular contractions, vaginal bleeding, or a change in vaginal discharge, it's crucial to seek immediate medical attention.
