I started having like “period cramps” & my mom told me to time them well I’ve been having them every 10 min & they last ab 5 min each time... is this the real deal? or am I paranoid? The cramps are on the right side & also my lower right back is starting to hurt ...

I went to the hospital about 12 hours after the contractions started because all of a sudden out of nowhere they became so unbearable that I was screaming and crying from the pain. I delivered about 5 hours later.
@damiensmommy1117, thank you sm! About how long would you say it took for them to progress to that?

She told me to come in once they were 4 minutes apart and lasting between a minute to a minute and a half. Turns out I actually was in labor 😅 so definitely don't be afraid to call them. I was nervous to call, but they told me the only stupid question is the question you don't ask. Made me feel a lot better!
I would call and see what they say this happened to me around the same time and they told me to take Tylenol to see if it made then go away. Its always better to call your Dr and ask because they can monitor you
Mine started out every 10 minutes, but only lasted about 45 seconds each time. I would call L&D just to be sure, that's what I did when I thought I was in labor and it helped a lot.
You may want to call and see if they would want you come in to check and see what’s going on

No problem! Good luck mama!
