i'm 1st time pregnant..,

Hi there, there are the signs of labour: - contractions or tightenings that get stronger and more frequent with time - a "show", or pinkish brown discharge when the plug of mucus from your cervix comes away - backache - diarrhoea / an urge to go to the toilet, which is caused by your baby's head pressing on your bowel - your waters breaking (rupture of membranes). This might feel like a big gush or a slow trickle of clear fluid that you can't control Get medical attention immediately if: - your waters break, or - you're bleeding, or - your baby is moving less than usual, or - you're less than 37 weeks pregnant and think you might be in labour
