IS THIS LABOUR?

If this question is being asked then the answer generally is ‘NO’! Most women, especially primipara’s (first time Mum’s) will experience pre-labour. It may last for hours or days, or she may have ‘signs’ and be in and out over a period of a couple of weeks. So it is important to reassure her that this is just the very beginning, and her body is getting ready to labour.
