- could it be time?

Question

I woke up this morning having contractions so I took a shower. They've been coming all day but I didn't pay them any kind as they weren't painful, more like uncomfortable tightening. So eating dinner with my toddler around 6 I realized that I was needing to stop chewing during one of my contractions. I had gotten so used to just ignoring them because they're not painful. So after dinner I started to time them and they're 3-5 mins apart but still not painful!! Just very uncomfortable. I've been timing them for 2 hours now with 3-5 mins being consistent. 
The only reason I'm not calling my doctors office yet is because with my first born I had false labor and went in and got sent home. Because while I wa having contractions I wasn't dilated at all or progressing. I also didn't end up having him for another week. 
Yesterday I had my appointment and was dilated to one and starting to get soft but that's it. Weight estimate at 7lbs. 
What do you think I should do? I'm going to take a warm bath thinking maybe they'll fizzle out during the bath if they do at all? I REALLY want to avoid going to the hospital if it's just false labor.. should i wait til I'm in a lot of pain? But My hospital is 40 mins away...

I'm sure you can see my dilemma

Answer

I've been in the same boat for over 2 weeks. Contractions as often as every 2 minutes for hours at times. If you call they'll say go- I had to go in twice to L&D. I was sent home both times after a few hours on monitors. It's a tough call. I would probably go ahead and call though just to be safe.

Answer

I think the way to know is if they start to get more painful and intense as the time passes. If they don't it could be false labour but I would definitely call your doctor to see what they suggest, good luck! 😊

Calling advice nurse can save a trip but out your mind at ease;)

Answer

Turns out braxton hicks can be regular for hours. Be painful and even take your breath away. I had it happen 6 hours straight 2 nights in a row. Im worried about how to tell the difference even tho  ive done it before

Answer

Sounds like my day today!

I have a doctors appointment tomorrow so if I make it through the night I can definitely see if things are happening!

I'm only 37 weeks and always go past my due date but with having a child only 12 months apart you never know!

Good luck girly!

Answer

If contractions are lasting a minute I'd go!
