Going into labor..???

Question

I've been having contractions about every 2-3 minutes, lasting about a minute each. They were about 4-5 minutes apart, but they're getting closer together and more painful, my water hasn't broken... At my dr appt last Wednesday I was only dilated 1/2 cm and 1/2 thinned, could things have progressed so quickly? I'm a FTM so I don't know if these are BH or the real thing... Any advice??

Answer

Things could definitely progress that quickly. I had my little boy yesterday and at 10:30am I was in the hospital for a standard NST, having some Braxton Hicks, but definitely not in labour. I was 3cm dilated but the doctor said it could be a few days still. By 2:30pm I was holding my baby. My water didn't break until I started pushing at about 2pm. Hope everything goes well for you! Any updates?

Answer

Have your contractions been happening for longer than an hour? Does changing your position stop them? If they do not stop definitely get to the hospital. I went to dr on a Thursday, only 1 cm and soft, went into labor the next Tuesday. Good luck sweetie.

Answer

I labored at home for eight hours and progressed slow but once I got to the hospital progresses from 2 to a 6 in a little over an hour, it can move fast.
