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.
If your baby has been fully engaged for two weeks, labor could start anytime, but it's not a guarantee that it will happen immediately. Engagement typically indicates that the baby is positioned for birth, which can happen days to weeks before labor begins. Every pregnancy is different, so it's essential to stay in touch with your healthcare provider for guidance and to monitor any signs of labor.
Being 37 weeks pregnant, 2 cm dilated, and 80% effaced indicates that your body is preparing for labor, but it doesn't guarantee that labor will start imminently. Some women may remain in this state for days or even weeks before labor begins, while others may go into labor soon after these changes occur. It's important to monitor your symptoms and communicate with your healthcare provider about any concerns.
40 weeks or 10 months.
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
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
At 39 weeks, it's normal to be in labor. An exam of the cervix could stimulate the uterus.
Labor is not accompanied by nausea. But if you have it at 37 weeks, check your blood pressure, you might be having preeclampsia.
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!
