The signs of labor in late pregnancy are regular contractions, as well as water breakage and redness. 1. Regular contractions are a very reliable sign of labor, about 12 hours before the woman goes into labor, and the woman will also experience false contractions. This is characterized by very irregular intervals and no regular intervals, while true contractions last for a long time and the intervals are very regular, and the pain is getting stronger and stronger. 2. The water will break, the amniotic membrane wrapped around the fetus will rupture naturally and the water will flow out. There is also redness, when redness is usually a small amount of red or brown mucus, the amount of blood will be significantly less than the usual amount of menstruation. So if a pregnant woman finds her water has broken and she sees red, she should immediately choose to be hospitalized for delivery.
