BleedingBleeding is the loss of blood.
Bloody ShowAt the end of pregnancy and at the onset of labor, the bloody show will discharge blood-tinged mucus from the vagina.
BradycardiaThe condition called bradycardia is a slow heart rate, usually less than 60 beats per minute.
Braxton-HicksBraxton-Hicks contractions are irregular and relatively painless contractions during pregnancy that doesn't effect dialation or effacement.
