Preterm Labour Signs & Symptoms

Please call your midwife straight away if you have any of the following signs & symptoms prior to 37 weeks of pregnancy:

  • Abnormal vaginal discharge (usually watery leaking or a gush of clear or pinkish fluid)
  • Bleeding from your vagina
  • Contractions that do not go away after emptying your bladder, and become stronger over time
  • Or a strong sense that things are not right

These signs can indicate that you are going into preterm labour, and need immediate investigation.
