Pre term labor? 😖

Question

I’ve been having pretty consistent contractions but I can talk and type and be myself through them. They’re just uncomfortable. I’ll be 34 weeks tomorrow. I’m resting not that I have much energy to do anything anyway. Does anyone have any advise for me? What are the signs that I need to go in? What should I bring if I do go in?

Answer

I'm 38 weeks and have had contractions for a couple of months. They've been very frequent for a while now and often times I have to stop what I'm doing. My doctor mentioned the 5-1-1 rule. They need to be less than 5 minutes apart, last at least 1 minute and stay that regular for at least 1 hour. Currently mine are only 20-30 seconds long and don't continue on for a solid hour so I'm not really worried.

Answer

Honestly it's better to call than to wait. If it is preterm labor the earlier you seek treatment the more likely they can stop it. If you wait till full blown labor it could be too late for them to stop it.
