having contractions since 8:30pm.
they went from 10-5 minutes apart and kept the same intensity.
now that ive called the hospital and told them, she said keep timing them for another half hour and if they stay at 5 min apart then to come get evaluated.
however, now they are growing in intensity but are back at about 10 min apart.
not sure if this is the real deal or not, I really dont want to go for no reason. smh.
any advice?
i was in early labor for ten hours before i went to the hospital. but even when i went in my contractions weren't too painful, i went in just to get checked. and when i was checked i was already at 4cm and my contractions went from being 8min apart to being 4 min apart in about an hour.
It could be the start! Mine were like that the day before I went into labor but when it's the real thing you won't be able to walk to talk. If it keeps up over the next hour id go 😚
yeah I did just that thing girl and I could barely get up. they arent going away. @brebaby914
Drink water and lay on your left side. If they aren't slowing down and getting more intense then get up and start walking bc it's probably the real thing ;)
basically yeah, but I can still handle it. they arent unmanageable. @zaysmomma
It is to the point where your focusing on breathing?
yeah I think im gonna head in even though im exhausted. cant sleep anyway. im due june 9th btw. @mommagotbump16
I'd say if they stay at about 5 min apart for another hour to call again and see what they say @taestasia Sometimes you can go into early or latent labor days ahead of time, but always better to be safe 😉
They just did but remain the same intensity each time and only last about 30 seconds. @mommagotbump16
If they're getting further apart I'd monitor for a little bit longer to see if they pick up again.
Contractions just went too 5 mins apart for 30 mins and than spreads back out to about 10 mins 😩
Kinda hard to time these but they arnt that painful but about 7 mins apart
I'm 38 weeks 5 days. Been up since 1:30am in pain. Started timing contractions and they were 10 mins apart. Lost my mucus plug and now they're about 6-7 mins apart. Not the best feeling 😣
Contractions 10 mins apart and they last 1 min and 30 secs Doctors won’t let me go in unless they are 5 mins or less.
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.
Did you end up going in? Hope everything's going well!
