Since I am not close to giving birth yet (yes, who knew!) let me just write another entry. I felt the need to help every woman be educated on the things, most especially to some of the terms that you will hear from day one and for the rest of your life.
Remember what I told on my last blog, you must be as smart as your doctor? Well this is your chance.
A
ACTIVE LABOR - Usually around 4-7cm of dilation and this is where contractions might be more consistent and frequent. Also the time where the hospital admits you.
AMNIOTIC SAC - Also called bag of waters where the fetus developed. Rupture can mean that labor is about to follow.
