The signs of labor can differ from one woman to another, and even for the same woman they may change from one pregnancy to the next. Although there s no way to predict how a woman s labor will progress or how long it will last, there are a few common signs of labor. What initiates labor, however, is less clear. We don t really know what mechanisms bring on labor, said Leslie Ludka, a certified nurse midwife and the director of midwifery at Cambridge Health Alliance in Cambridge, Mass. Science hasn t figured this out yet.
Labor is likely initiated when certain hormones are produced by the fetus, experts suspect. Below is more information on the physical signs of labor.

Covid-19 vaccine-seekers in Massachusetts are now able to get their shots at six of the state’s mass vaccination sites without first booking an appointment.
Last week, Gov. Baker said that the six sites at Boston’s Hynes Convention Center and Reggie Lewis Center, the Natick Mall, the former Circuit City in Dartmouth, the DoubleTree Hotel in Danvers, and the Eastfield Mall in Springfield will begin accepting walk-up appointments, as a way to make it easier for people to access vaccines.
People will still be able schedule appointments online, and the state’s vaccine finder website will also host information about walk-in hours, Baker said during a visit to a vaccine clinic at the Encore Boston Harbor casino in Everett.
Looking up at the massive chandelier above him in the main ballroom of Encore Boston Harbor, Gov. Charlie Baker last Wednesday, May 5, proclaimed the state’s newest mass vaccination site as the most opulent place to get a COVID shot in the state.
“A tip of the hat to Brian Gullbrants (Encore President) and Encore for providing us what is by far the most over the top beautiful vaccine site we’ve got,” said the governor at the start of his media briefing.
