What are the signs when you are about to give birth?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. What are the symptoms when you're about to give birth?

Doctor's answer:

One, the uterus may begin to contract irregularly, and the pregnant woman will feel her abdomen tighten at regular intervals, becoming more frequent over time. This is an important sign that labor is starting.
Two, "seeing red": Before the uterus begins to contract regularly, some mucus mixed with blood may flow from the cervix. This is called "seeing red" in medical terms and is referred to as a sign of labor. Seeing red occurs because the cervix gradually expands, and the mucus from the cervix mixes with a small amount of bleeding from the cervix wall. The blood volume is usually small, indicating that labor has begun.
