The 5-1-1 Rule: Giving Birth
Dr. Anna Suarez Davis, Obstetrician and Gynecologist at Baptist Hospital of Miami, explains the signs that would indicate the baby is ready to be born: The 5-1-1 rule (contractions every five minutes lasting one minute for one hour), if you break your bag of water, vaginal bleeding and if the baby is not moving.
Another sign is having irregular contractions, some women will have looser stools or a little bit of nausea.
