В ожидании первенца

I'm having very consistent contractions, 2-5 minutes apart, but they're not very strong and they range from 30 seconds…

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?

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

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

@tiffany_sanft, have you progressed much?

@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.

How many minutes apart before you should 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.

It can happen. Just depends on your body

@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.

Call L&D at the hospital and ask
