Reaching the end of pregnancy, we face the final and most crucial stage, delivery. This moment is on a woman’s mind from the very beginning and nine months later it comes true. On condition that both the mother’s and the baby’s safety are ensured, the primary goal in every pregnancy is normal delivery, which allows for a speedy recovery.

Normal delivery is believed to strengthen the bond between a mother and her baby, and is the ultimate and most meaningful experience in a woman’s life –in terms of tension and emotions. On the other hand, if there is even the slightest chance that the mother or the baby’s life is threatened, a C-section is imperative.

Labour symptoms

 

Labour symptoms are clear and obvious. If a woman is educated about this stage in advance, there is no way she will not recognize the signs. Most common signs of a woman in labour are:

  • Continuous long duration contractions
  • Vaginal discharge
  • Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea
  • Water “breaking”

Once these signs appear, the woman needs to contact her doctor immediately and rush to hospital.
