First Stage of Labour - Transition Phase
First Stage of Labour - Transition Phase
For many women, the transition phase is the most challenging part of labour. Because of the rapid changes and intensity of labour at this time, you may not get much relief from pain and discomfort between contractions.
This can make it very difficult to remain calm and focused.
You might feel extremely irritable and sensitive and have trouble communicating. It's also fairly common to experience nausea and vomiting, leg cramps and trembling of arms and legs, hot or cold flashes, sweating and a strong urge to push with contractions.
