So I've been contracting for a hour now but I've been timing them and they're all over. Like, some are 40 sec apart and…

My hospital says follow the 5-1-1 rule. 5 or less min apart, lasting 1min, for 1 hr

@babymay2016 okay. These last about 30-45 seconds. They're not unbearable like I remember my first pregnancy being.

Well in my experience Braxton Hicks like last a long time but maybe that's just me.. Have you tried drinking a lot of water and it stops completely? Water should make Braxton Hicks go away. If it doesn't, it is probably real contractions. They don't always hurt

It sounds like real contractions to me. I would get my bag ready and go in, if water doesn't make it completely stop.

@babymay2016 I'm gonna try drinking a bunch of water. If that doesn't help I'll call my midwife.

Sounds like a plan. Congrats and good luck if it's baby day ☺☺☺ update me if you want!!

@babymay2016 thanks!! 😊😊

Have the contractions calmed down by now ?

@luv_2b_amomma yeah. I'm still getting them but they've gotten further apart. I don't think he's coming tonight

@mamakatey, I hope it calms down for you . I agree it will very unbearable if he was coming tonight .
