when they start look at the time, wait till it is over then look again. wait till another starts and look at the time and when its over. that's a contraction. example.. I had a contraction at 11:05 it lasted 30-40 seconds and stopped and then at 11:15 I had a another one; that's how you time them. and if you keep contracting study (like 10 min apart) for an hour straight and they are more painful and don't last as long then I suggest going to the hospital.

how do I time them do you know? @kalynnsmommy sorry just with my first I never went through this

You're welcome @suresti
