How long would you time contractions before going in. I've been having them 4-7mins apart since 11am it's now 1pm and they've been getting closer and more intense. (Yes I've drank water, walked, laid down, etc) going to try a shower and see if they stay.
@brandidodge, I hope so! Headed in now. They're getting more intense. Every 3-5 mins. I'm scared tho. I don't want to get my hopes up.
@carterclaytonb, well I hope this means you will get to hold your little man soon.
@carterclaytonb, I would, cause if your admitted no more food, but you know that. lol.
@carterclaytonb, when I was having contractions naturally every 4 to 6 minutes at 28 weeks, it only felt like cramping, I didn't know I was having full strength contractions till I was in the hospital being monitored. I ohonestly thought it was just cramps. when I got induced I got my epidural when I started to get uncomfortable so I don't know how bad they got.
@brandidodge, every 2-5 mins. As of 30 mins ago. I would be going in right now but they're not like horrible like I'd expect them to be. Like a four on the pain scale.
@carterclaytonb, I hope this is it for you. keep timing them. good luck.
Maybe wait a few more hours, continue timing them and see what happens, maybe it's really time :)))))
And it starts low pain at the beginning and the contraction is like a wave a pain.
That's just about all I can do. It's like intense period cramping. This is my second baby but my first was induced. So I only know what horrible active labor feels like.
So it's been an hour since I showered and I'm still having contractions but now they're 7-10 mins apart. We'll see if they get close again. @anerruny12 @bellainmybelly @brandidodge
They won't keep me unless I'm 6cm and having them 3-5 mins apart. I'm going to shower and see if they stay consistent if they do I'll go in. Thanks ladies! @brandidodge @anerruny12
They say not to go in until you have them 4-3 mins apart and lasting one minute
At 4-7 min appart i was at 5 cm with Emma so but I think it depends on ur body so I would go in as fast as you can but with my Rubi she's 3 I went from 6 cm to 10 within 20 min
Thanks! 😁
