False labor, or Braxton-Hicks contractions usually occur in the 2 weeks prior to real labor, especially with the first childbirth.
Generally, labor is not induced at 36 weeks, as the baby is still considered preterm An infant needs the additional time in the womb for lungs to be mature enough to breathe on the outside. Don't rush things. The baby will come when it is time. Good luck.
Around the time that your baby is due to be born, give or take a few days/weeks.
There are many signs to help you know if you are in labor. First of all, the baby for 9 months in in an amniotic fluid (aka water sac) and when you reach 40 weeks, your water will break which means water may start to run down your leg, or into your underwear. This means you are in labor
40 weeks or 10 months.
please elaborate...what do you mean by labor, for 2 weeks? Labor doesnt kill a baby, so if one is really in labor for 2 weeks, ( which I've never heard of) there's no reason for a baby to be dead. however, 2 weeks of labor might kill the mom ! Just joking. Seriously though, more information is needed to answer this question properly.
37 weeks
There is really no straight answer for that. Your baby is fully engaged, but that doesn't necessarily mean labor is imminent. It does mean that your body is getting ready though. Good luck!
Bed rest or not, labor will start when the baby is ready. Bed rest helps protect the pregnancy until the baby is reaches term. I was in bed for six weeks and the baby ended up being born on time and at full weight. Talk to your doctor.
Generally there is no need for a doctor to do an invasive check unless the baby is very overdue, there are other signs of labor or a cause for concern. You could request it if you wish. 40 weeks is not overdue.and the amount of dilation doesn't always give an indication of when labor will start.
Labor is not accompanied by nausea. But if you have it at 37 weeks, check your blood pressure, you might be having preeclampsia.
At 39 weeks, it's normal to be in labor. An exam of the cervix could stimulate the uterus.
