When Should You Seek Medical Care?
Regular Contractions
Contractions become stronger, more frequent, and occur at regular intervals, indicating that labour has begun.
Water Breaking
The rupture of the amniotic sac, commonly known as your water breaking, is a sign that you should seek medical attention.
Bloody Show
A pink or blood-tinged mucus discharge may indicate that your cervix is preparing for delivery.
Pelvic Pressure
Increased pressure in the lower abdomen or pelvis often occurs as your baby moves into the birth canal.
Persistent Lower Back Pain
Continuous lower back pain, especially when accompanied by contractions, may signal the onset of labour.
Reduced Baby Movements
If you notice a significant decrease in your baby's movements, seek immediate medical evaluation, even if labour has not started.
If you experience heavy bleeding, severe abdominal pain, persistent headaches, blurred vision, or reduced baby movements, seek immediate medical attention or visit Horizon Hospital's Emergency Department without delay.
Benefits of Normal Delivery

Shorter Hospital Stay
