Contractions 7 minutes apart. Hospital time?

Question

Answer

It is my understanding they should be 5 minutes apart, lasting 1 minute for at least an hour. But this will be my first so...

Answer

depends on for how long and how painful. if you are a first time mom I would wait until they are less than 5 for an hour

Answer

Depends on how long it will take you to get to the hospital. Probably wait, though.

Answer

How do the contractions feel ? Like are they painful enough for you to know it’s happening ? I’m m scared I won’t know I’m in labor 😭

Whatever you do keep walking.that is what keeps them going.

Answer

They’ll send you home with them only being 7 mins apart .. they have to be 5 mins apart and last for at least a min for an hour straight to be considered active labor

Answer

Wait until 5 minutes apart

Answer

Call L&D to ask them if they go by the 5-1-1 rule. 
Contractions every five minutes, lasting one minute, for at least an hour.

Answer

My doctor told me every 5 minutes for an hour.

Answer

Honestly depends on how far you have to travel to the hospital.  typically they like for you to be 5 mins apart with each one lasting atleast 1 min. I personally was told 10 mins consistently for at least 1 min for an hour or so then I should start driving. my hospital is an hour away. there are closer hospitals but im oing to the only high risk facility in our area. With rush hour traffic and possible under water tunnel traffic jam its better for me not to wait until 5 in case emergency csection or worst case I get stuck in traffic.
