How Do I Know If I’m in Labor? You’ve probably heard: “You’ll just know.”

But what if no one ever taught you how to recognize the language of labor?

In this episode, we go beyond the textbook “5-1-1” rule and clockable contractions to help you tune into the sacred signals your body starts whispering—often long before labor officially begins. Because the truth is: labor is a journey, not just a moment.

Whether you're a mama wondering if this is it, or a doula trying to discern when to pack your bag—this episode will shift how you see the initiation into birth.

We break down:

🔑 The difference between prodromal, early, and active labor

🔑 How emotions, nesting, tears, and needing solitude are all labor signals

🔑 Why the cervix is only part of the story—and what else to look for

🔑 How your jaw, posture, and breath signal labor progress

🔑 The spiritual threshold many women cross before active labor begins

✨ “When you listen to the whispers, you don’t have to wait for the scream.”
