When to time contractions?!

Question

When should you start timing contractions? When they are painful or just when they are consistent? I know everyone’s pain tolerance is different and your body has it own pain management system too... so it has me questioning when! — ￼feeling overthinking.

Answer

I listened to a podcast yesterday (The Birthful Podcast) and she talked about not timing them until you can’t ignore them any longer. Try to continue with your day, distract, run errands, take a nap, go to the movies, do what you can to rest, etc. She said something about when we time we change the process to a “thinking mindset”. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t plan on timing until I can’t ignore them anymore

Answer

My midwife told me today that you shouldn't be timing them until they are too painful to ignore
