Should I stay or should I go?

Question

I'm having contractions! They hurt a lot! It's so awesome! Started this morning around 1. They've been consistently 7-10 min apart but have only gradually been getting stronger. It's confusing because, timing wise, the books all say to go to the hospital already but if I'm still walking and talking I don't feel like it's time. Advice?

Answer

My hospital 5-1-1. 5 minutes apart, lasting for 1 minute for hour.

Answer

Lol you guys were right- my baby was out by 12!

Answer

How long are they lasting? Did they start 7-10 minutes apart? The rule I've always heard is 5 minutes part 1 minute long for 1 hour (511). But if they're getting stronger and have been going on that long I would get checked out

Answer

You could always ring them and see what they advise. Sometimes the symptoms are different for different ladies.

Answer

I've read in several books when you're unable to concentrate or focus during a contraction that's when it is time to go.
