You may be feeling tired, nauseous, or swollen during pregnancy, but there are no specific signs that indicate you're in labor. The best way to tell if you're in labor is to monitor your contractions. Contractions can feel like mild cramps or tightenings in your belly that get stronger and closer together over time. You should also pay attention to any other changes in your body such as a decrease in fluid levels or leaking mucus from your vagina. If you have concerns, it's important to contact your doctor for advice.
