Preterm Labor Symptoms

Symptoms of preterm labor may include:

• Mild or menstrual-like cramps, with or without diarrhea.
• A feeling of pressure in your pelvis or lower belly.
• A steady, dull ache in your lower back, pelvis, lower belly, or thighs.
• Changes in your vaginal discharge.
• Regular contractions for an hour. This means about 6 or more in 1 hour, even after you have had a glass of water and are resting.
