Do I call L&D?

Question

I’m 39 weeks today and all day I’ve been cramping lightly and in the past hour they’ve gone from 6mins apart to 5mins apart. Do I call L&D;? Should I take paracetamol and go to bed? I have a very high pain tolerance and unsure as FTM and only know people who have been induced.

Answer

Doesn’t hurt to call and ask them

Answer

Go to bed.

Answer

Yes call early contractions aren't very painful and you've had enough for long enough they should at least be made aware of. Let them tell you if they want you to come in. Even if it isn't real labor with as far as you are they may just help things along and get things going for you. Good luck!
