Patient's question:
Sure, I can help with that. However, you haven't provided the content to be translated. Please provide the Chinese text you want to be translated into English.Doctor's answer:
The signs of labor often appear when you feel as if something is happening yet nothing seems to be happening. First, there is an increase in urination frequency and a feeling of discomfort when walking. Then, you may experience intermittent hardness in the lower abdomen or some lower back pain, similar to menstrual cramps. This sensation indicates the start of initial contractions. At first, each contraction lasts for 10 to 30 seconds with longer intervals. Gradually, the duration of contractions extends, accompanied by the discharge of brown, pink, or bright red blood from the vagina, which is called "show." Show is the first symptom that labor is about to begin. It usually occurs 24 to 48 hours before delivery.
