I refuse to time these contractions for at least another hour but man are they getting painful. It's all progress!…

Even if you time them it may not make a difference. Once you get put on the monitor that's when the doctors determine how far they are even if they really are closer than what the monitor picks up. It's annoying. I just had consistent contractions for 2 hours and now the monitor is hardly even picking them up.

you're so lucky . 38 weeks and I've had zero contractions

@lbedell95, I've had them for 3 weeks now. I'm exhausted. they come at 3 minutes apart normally and hurt more every day. haha every pregnancy is different but your body knows what it needs to do. :)

@showersoverflowers, I thought you were supposed to go to the hospital when they're that far apart? I only have contractions when I walk or have sex or I'll randomly have some. I have a shit ton of pressure though.

Yes you are. I'm in prodomonal labor which means it starts and stops all on its own until transitioning into active. I've gone in after they lasted an hour and they started to get closer even and stronger... Then they just stopped. Thank goodness. The magic number mark for me is 2 hours at 3 minutes apart.

@lbedell95

That's okay though! I bet you're having tiny ones you don't even notice. @lbedell95 they can intensify super fast once labor begins
