When to go to the hosp.?

Question

So, I woke up 3 hours ago from contractions. They don't really HURT, but theyre uncomfortable. I tried going back to sleep and eating/ drinking water. They're still coming. Not really a perfect pattern, but they last 30 sec to 1 min with 5-15 mins between. Im about 37wks pregnant and last week was 3.5cm dilated. When do I go in? Do I wait until they're excruciating?

Answer

I'd take a shower. Get something to eat. Get your stuff all ready and head on in.

Answer

Call your doctor and ask them. Like other posters said it is 1min contractions 5 min apart.

Answer

Better safe than sorry...better to be sent home than to have baby on side of the road

Answer

I was told to wait until they were consistant and 5mins apart and lasting 1 minute each time before heading in, maybe give them a call and ask

Answer

I'm 35 weeks and my ob-gyn told me today
5 mins apart for 1 hour. 
The first early phase of labor could last quite a while.

Answer

Take a shower, check if that helps, and wait until they are constant and 5 minutes apart, they could make you go back home at 5 but you should go anyways.
