The symptoms of preterm birth are often identical to those of term birth, but the most significant difference is precisely in the time horizon in which they begin. If you register symptoms such as an excessive amount of vaginal discharge with a possible admixture of blood, pressure in the lower abdomen, constant dull back pain or abdominal cramps often combined with diarrhea before the 37th week of pregnancy, it is probably a premature birth. You can also feel regular contractions, which may or may not be painful, while the clearest sign of the upcoming birth is the outflow of amniotic fluid. In such a situation, it is necessary to go to the maternity ward immediately. If you feel any suspicious change that does not feel natural in the last month of pregnancy, it is better to contact your doctor.\r
