I'm having very consistent contractions, 2-5 minutes apart, but they're not very strong and they range from 30 seconds to a little over a minute. Should I still go in even though they're not horribly painful?
@tiffany_sanft, aww I'm feeling bad for you that it's dragging out!! Hopefully things get rolling. I bet your exhausted😥
Still just trying to labor at home, having contractions still, though so my midwife gave me some strong benedryl to help with the back pain. I'm having back labor so that's why my labor is lasting forever. 😕 everyone keeps saying she's going to be here any day now. @mamabee
@mamabee, I don't know.. I've been getting mixed answers, so I figure when I can't take it anymore or when the contractions seem never ending, I'll go in.
@mamabee, no. Still not much pain at all. The contractions are uncomfortable, but definitely not unbeatable. I think the most "painful" part for me is probably the lower cramping and some back aches. I'm just hoping this is the real thing!
@tiffany_sanft, how exciting, well at least your having some progress! I guess it's just a waiting game to see when they get closer together. Be careful I've heard of some people never having strong contractions. You may be a lucky one😘
@mamabee, I tried waiting it out, but I might end up there today! Woke myself up, having contractions almost an hour ago and they're still here, still coming consistently.
@tiffany_sanft, how are you doing? did you go into labor? 😍
yeah, maybe wait it out a little longer. But if youre really concerned it doesnt hurt to call and ask!
@marie_xo, I live pretty close to the hospital, thankfully! I'm just super weird about going on since I've already had two "false alarms" 😒 it makes me super anxious.
@simplybrit22, I saw my midwife yesterday and was only 1cm dilated.. Is it possible that my cervix has changed that quickly?
Maybe you have a high pain tolerance! My doctor said you can labor at home until they get 2 minutes apart depending on how far the hospital is.
I would go in. It doesn't hurt to see. Although they're not strong you might be dilating and don't even know it. Or you probably have a tolerance for pain.
If their very first post is controversial, or if they use the hashtag #myfirstpost there is a 99.9% chance they're a troll
Sooo I've been having contraction pains and they're 2-5 minutes apart.. But idk if they're bad enough to actually say anything to anybody....

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️

Mr.Loyal 20 minutes of labor he was here
Yeah.. I'm pretty over it. I'm just trying not to let it get to me. Hopefully she decides to make her appearance soon! @mamabee
