I can only describe it from the outside, having watched my wife go through it a few times, but the biggest feeling that came to her with labor was doubt. "Is this real labor? Is it more Braxton-Hicks? How long between contractions?" The exception is if the water breaks, which means that there is a fairly limited amount of time before the baby needs to come out. Like a day or maybe two. That never happened with my wife though and the water breaking is fairly unlikely overall. Even when labor starts, there is time and a cool headed woman can handle things, but if you are talking about an action sequence, she won't be taking part. At 9 months with the baby dropped, most women can walk well enough, but running is out of the question.

According to my wife, contractions felt like intense tightening of the muscles around her back leading to pain in her abdomen and thighs. Even by our third child, she'd have to take time thinking about whether the contractions were real contractions or false ones, like Braxton Hicks contractions. It isn't until they are fairly regular, consistent through changes in posture or position, and intensifying over time that labor is really started. From there, it can be a few hours to a couple of days before delivery.

There is one thing to consider though. Adrenaline, the fight or flight hormone, generally slows or stops labor. Humans are adapted to living in some fairly harsh conditions in our history. The bodies of women react to danger by letting them get away in all but the worst states of delivery, so the danger of your big bad may actually stave off the labor.

cenwolfgirl:
thank you that is realy help full

oh she is not needing to run any where but is in a persision where no one would be able to help her if she went in to laber and surounded my mostly little kids and teens or people who have no knolage of human anatermy or pregnecy
she is also not in an area near a hospiatle and even if she went to a hospital it would do her no good as they are safe in hidding but if they leave here hidding place then they will be discovered and most likly killed or captured nether of witch would be good
