One fear when being pregnant is not only learning a whole new world but it is also the fear of giving birth.

Many moms-to-be say they are scared to give birth, it is a scary thing. So we all read those mommy books on what to expect when expecting, but was there one weird sign you got when you were going into labor? 

While common signs to look out for include:

  • Backaches
  • Contractions
  • Diarrhea
  • Vomiting

And you cannot rely on your water breaking to give you an indication that you're about to give birth either.

Here are less common signs you are going into labor: 

  • Lower backache
  • Using the toilet more frequently
  • Sudden urge to clean the house
  • General heaviness in the pelvic area
  • A sense that something is about to happen
  • Waking up more often
