Does nausea mean labor is coming? Nausea and vomiting in the third trimester of pregnancy could be an early sign of labor.

Labor in pregnancy is childbirth, the process by which the fetus and the placenta exit the uterus through the birth canal.

Some symptoms that started earlier in pregnancy, such as nausea and vomiting (morning sickness) and fatigue usually improve but may continue into the third trimester for some women.

Nausea and vomiting can also be early signs of labor. Some women may feel nauseated a day or so before labor starts, and others may experience nausea as active labor begins.

Once labor starts, the digestion process usually stops, so if the mother has a full stomach when labor begins, nausea may occur. The contractions that occur during early labor may also cause nausea and vomiting.

Other common signs of labor may include:

  • Back pain
  • Bloody show
    • A small amount of mucus mixed with a little blood may pass from the vagina
  • Contractions
    • Uterine muscle spasms can signify the start of labor and may become more frequent and severe as labor progresses
  • Rupture of the amniotic sac (often referred to as the “water breaking”)
    • Amniotic fluid leaks through the cervix and vagina
    • Labor usually occurs within hours of the amniotic sac breaking
    • If labor does not occur after the water breaks and the baby is due, labor is usually induced to reduce the risk of infection
