Which happened first when you were in labour: water bag broke or blood came out? What is normal?

Both are signs of labour and every woman may experience different sequence. Here are what to look out for to suggest that you may soon be in labour: - Lightening: occurs when baby’s head drops into your pelvis in preparation for delivery. Belly may be lower and you may find it easier to breathe. Could occur a few weeks to a few hours from the onset of labour - Blood-tined or brownish discharge: could happen days before or at the onset of labour - Diarrhea: may means that labour is nearing - Ruptured membranes: breaking of water bag causing fluid to flow from the vaina. Could occur hours before labour or during labour. Once this happen, most women will go into labour within 24 hours, or doctors may suggest induction of labour to prevent infections and delivery compliations - Contractions: contractions that occur at regular intervals of less than 10mins apart suggests that labour has begun For more information on sign and stages of labour, you can refer to this informative article: http://www.webmd.com/baby/guide/normal-labor-and-delivery-process
