Do contractions have to hurt?

Do contractions have to hurt?

I'm 37 weeks and for two days my contractions went from 17 minutes to around 6 minutes currently, some times they go all the way up to 10 minutes apart then the next will be 4 minutes. However, I am only counting contractions that hurt rather than just the ones that are tightening my stomach. When it says we should go in for contractions less than 5 minutes, do they mean painful ones or any tightening? I just don't want to waste anyone's time going if it isn't go time.

Mine aren't painful but this is my first so idk. When I told my doctor that I am finally having contractions but nothing that is causing any pain she still asked if they are regular and close together but they are still pretty far apart so she said then it's not time so I'm assuming they don't have to be painful.

My friend's contractions did not hurt her very much at all (she was one of the lucky ones) and was 5cm dilated. At 37 weeks, you're not wasting anyone's time to go in and get checked if you think you're in labor! That's what they're there for :)

I'm convinced I'm going to go into labour at any minute.....I'm having contraction but they're stopping and starting. Yesterday i was having contractions all morning then by the time I got to triage to be monitored they stopped. Now this morning I was sat having breakfast with my son and they started again. But more intense and longer lasting this time. My question is do I phone triage now or do I just wait to see what happens. I feel like I'm wasting their time always ringing etc

You couldn't find a babysitter?!

You couldn't find a babysitter?! Mommas, do you take your kids with you to run errands and go to mundane appointments? On two separate occasions, a doctors appointment for me and today at a car service appointment, someone has remarked "you couldn't find a babysitter?!" It never crossed my mind to find a babysitter. I take my 2 kids with me just about everywhere. They are well behaved (minus the occasional 3 year old meltdown) and one of them is attached to my boob the majority of the time anyway. Am I the only one? Is that a weird thing to do? Do most moms find babysitters?
