question: When did you decide to go to the hospital for contractions? I've had them since last night that were intermittent, decided to start timing them around 9:30 this morning and the average is about every 6minutes for 45-50secs...just wondering if most people wait longer or ...😕
yeah that's kinda what I'm doing now @mommyof5kayla trying to work through the contractions as much as possible at home 😌
I waited till I could walk or take the pain any longer at home and most the time my timing is perfect I'm at the hospital for about 2 or 3 hours the most when my kids came one of my boys came 1 hour after getting to the hospital
you can always call l&d and ask them, they don't mind answering your questions, and they will tell you for sure whether you should come in or not.
awesome thanks guys! @dreab @killxj0y @kbrown91 @shelsynikkol
I always went in when they were 5-7 mins apart as well. That's when they recommend coming in. when they start coming in waves, and close together it helps you dilate. so most likely they'll keep you. Especially since you've had them since last night and they're fairly close together. my doctor always told me to come in when I start getting 5 in 1hour that last 1 minute. @ashleylaray
true! my doctor told me four minutes apart I believe so I may just stick to that, but being at six minutes is so close haha @shelsynikkol
mine were about 6 min apart and when I got there I was at a 4.
I went when they were 4 minutes apart and they monitored me for about 2 hours and I was only 2cm and nothing changed so they sent me home and then 4 hours later I went back because they were 2 minutes apart and I had him like 15 minutes later when I got to the hospital. soo my opinion id rather be safe then sorry! I almost had a baby in the car
and they admitted you? I'm just worried they'll send me home lol how far were you dilated? I was at a 1 yesterday but my doctor performed a membrane sweep that's why I think I'm probably more dilated now possibly? @killxj0y
I decided to go when I had had them between 5 and 7 minutes apart

Forgot who mentioned these... But decided to try them!
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
Soooooo you guys, I had the twins March 11 at 9:17 and 9:23 💙💙💙 they decided they couldn’t wait any longer. But they’re doing fine. Nolan (baby A) 4.1lbs and Nilan(baby B) 4.4lbs they aren’t on oxygen but they’re in the NICU but everything is looking good for them. Pictures of them coming soon, but they’re both so handsome💙😩😩
Do you really think the way you are raised
Has no impact on when and how you decide to have sex? I read a comment on another thread that really rubbed me the wrong way. Something about how teens have sex and there's just no stopping it no matter how you raise them.
So I decided to look at diaper bags today and man are they pricey! And suggestions on good but cheap brands or places to buy them?
Yeah
