Contractions or no ?

Question

I’m 40 weeks today I woke up from a nap around 8:30pm and took my bf home ! Since I woke I been having contractions .. I just started timing them because I wasn’t sure as I just had a false labor and went to the hospital for no reason ! But they’ve been lasting since .. so I started timing them so far I have timed 3 of them and they are 5-7 minutes apart and lasting 40-45 seconds I walked around trying to get them to calm down and they seem stronger . First baby water broke with no contractions for hours .. this is my second baby and I’m not sure what to expect.. what do you ladies recommend I do ? Should I wait another hour ?

Answer

4-1-1 is usually the recommended timing to call your OB.  That’s contractions 4 minutes apart, lasting a minute each, for at least an hour.  I, personally, wait until they’re unbearable only because I’d rather early labor at home lol

Answer

If they stay where they are at or intensify in the next hour, time to go in! Good luck!

Answer

Did you have your baby mom?

Answer

I went in and found out I was 3cm they sent me home. I went in when they started getting stronger but not unbearable. I’d wait until it becomes unbearable and you want meds (if that’s what you choose) I  labored in the hospital from 10pm till 5pm the following day and wish I would of stayed home a while since I didn’t get meds till much later like 3am. But I am only 15 mins from hospital so I would think about that also . Laboring in my hospital was nice once they actually admitted me since there was a big tub.

Answer
