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
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
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!!

A Statement from Mom.Life:
Hey everyone!
Last night, a new user began messaging our moms asking for private pictures of toddlers and young children. This is obviously unacceptable behavior, and the account was banned immediately. Although thankfully extremely rare on Mom.Life, several users were understandably upset by this, so we wanted to clarify a few things:
First off, Mom.Life has an absolute zero tolerance policy for child abuse and those who would prey on children. We strive to ...
I find it pretty hilarious how people who have shown their true colors on social media snake away, delete the posts that outed them and come back on social media like nothing happened. Why do that, you outed yourself, so stay out. We still see you boo boo...
need suggestions....
So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.
Yeah
