5 minutes apart??

Question

why does my dr want the contractions 5 minutes apart??

Answer

Once the contractions are coming strong and regularly is when you'll be in what's considered active labor.

Answer

Because it means it's almost time.  A good rule of thumb is the 511 rule
Contractions 5 minutes apart
Lasting more than 1 minute
For at least 1 hour (511)
If they are not on point, u could go to the labor and delivery for nothing and get sent home because they don't want to keep u there for days until I start really contracting

Answer

Like the other gal said that's active labor. If you go into the hospital too soon, you can be sent home. your doctor wants to make sure that when you do come in you're far enough along that you'll be admitted and kept through delivery.

Answer
