Been having contractions that are 5,6 minutes apart and really painful (from my lower stomach to my lower back) since 4 this afternoon. Hoping it is thinning my cervix and dilating me. Not sure when I'm gonna go to L&D. Going to try and wait as long as I can because I'm only 1cm and 60% effaced and my water hasn't broken or I haven't lost my mucus plug that I know of.

They say to go in whenever you have contractions that are 5 minutes apart regardless if your water broke or not or how dilated you are

I went in last night and they just sent me home because my contractions slowed down and I was only 1cm dilated. but today the pain has gotton stronger and I'm trying to wait it out because I don't want to get sent home again. @meboom01

The nurse at the birthing class told me that. It could be different for different hospitals though, you never know.

Oh ok lol but yeah that sounds like the real thing. If they start being consistently 2-5 mins apart I'd go in
