Weird Things That Happen Before Labor Begins

This week on The Mommy Labor Nurse Podcast we're talking all about labor signs! And more specifically the weird signs of labor you might not know about yet!

I think it's safe to say that if you've ever been pregnant, you've probably found yourself googling, "Is XYZ a sign of labor?". And there are actually quite a few weird things that happen before labor!

The anticipation of meeting your little one soon can definitely cause mamas to be on high alert for any sort of body changes. And this is a good thing! It's great to be in tune with your body, especially during pregnancy. 

Aside from the obvious signs of labor: contractions and water breaking (which isn't always as obvious as you might think!) there are quite a few other things that can give you a clue that labor is near!
