They started out very irregular, some were 2 mins, 3, 6, 8 but they were still contractions. I had no idea at the time because I was told that they only count if they’re 2-3 mins apart. So I paid it no mind until I couldn’t take the pain anymore. From labor to delivery it was 12 hours for me. After I got to the hospital it was every minute apart.
That’s how mine started. I just thought it was back pains from being 39 weeks, but then it kept intensifying and by the time I had got to the hospital I was 2 cm and hour after that I was 4 and they admitted me.
