Are they frequent enough to go in or should I wait until they are consistently 5 mins or under? They…

They usually want you to go in once the contractions are 2 minutes apart. you may get sent home if you go in right now

@cardenasselena, I'm going to try to wait it out until they are consistently under 5 mins apart because I would hate for my husband to be up all night just for us to get sent home and still have to work all day. My hospital wants you to come in if they are under 5 mins apart

Do you know if you're dilated at all? Try walking around, that might speed things up a little

@cardenasselena, at my doc appt last Tuesday I wasn't at all. I just drank some water and am laying in bed on my left side to see if anything changes. Supposed if they are false labor they should stop or slow down if I do this *shrugs* idk for sure. They are still about the same right now

there's a "rule" more or less a guideline "5-1-1" 5 minutes apart 1 minute contractions for 1 hour.. good luck!

@kaylahammond, so far I've had 11 contractions in the last hour varying between 4-7 minutes apart and lasting between 45-65 seconds

it might just be time to head to the hospital😁😁

@kaylahammond, I may call my nurse soon because I hope so! I just hate to wake up the hubby if it's false labor lol

that's true! lol I'd feel awful too if I had to wake mine up just to be sent home.. doc says if you can walk & talk during them it's not time but that 5-1-1 rule is usually how it goes

Any updates??

@cardenasselena, I had my baby today!
