ANS: D, E
Painless tightening of abdominal muscles (Braxton-Hicks contractions) and cervix thick and not effaced lend to the determination of false (prodromal) labor. Leaking of vaginal fluid may indicate rupture of membranes and is a sign of true labor. Contractions that intensify with ambulation and pink spotting (bloody show) are signs of true labor.
