daughter is 9 mos, she is having mucus and pressure some contractions, how will she know if this is having her

Answer 1

tell her to ask her doctor. the doctor should have explained all this to her

Answer 2

he onset of labor varies from woman to woman, but there are some clear markers that will let you know the time has come.

Steps:
1. Recognize "lightening" - when your baby drops into the pelvis - usually two or three weeks before delivery in first-time moms; in later births, babies don't usually drop until labor begins.

2. Learn to identify the rehearsal or Braxton-Hicks contractions that women experience starting in the second trimester. Despite this strange feeling - these irregular contractions do not mark labor's onset.

3. Realize that the loss of your mucus plug (also called a bloody show) does not mean labor is imminent; this can happen as much as two or three weeks before you give birth.

4. Know that your water breaking does not necessarily signal the beginning of labor (though if labor does not begin in 24 hours, most doctors will give you hormones to kick start contractions).

5. Time your contractions for a half hour. If they are coming closer and closer together and each one lasts more than 40 seconds, then when they repeatedly occur less than five minutes apart, you're in labor.

Tips:
Some women experience back pain and flulike symptoms in the days and hours before contractions begin.

Keep a record of your contractions so that your midwife or physician can see how your labor is progressing.

Early contractions are stronger and more effective if you're upright and moving around.

Answer 3

She will absolutely know when it is time once it arrives. No need to rush to the hospital now. Wait until it is necessary to breathe and not speak through contractions. If the contractions increase in intensity and she begins to have a bloody show when she goes to the restroom, she is in labor. You can lose your mucus plug up to four weeks before labor begins. Encourage her to go for a walk. Watch her carefully, and if she begins to resent you talking during contractions or breathes through them, call her doctor and plan on heading to the hospital soon. Good luck with your new grand baby!

Answer 4

mucus could just be the plug no biggie there you can lose it and still have 2 weeks to go. the contractions will get uncomfortable and will be regular and longer. When they are 5 min apart for 30 min then I would take her in to be checked or if her water breaks

It sounds like she is in labor. Start timing the contractions.
