If you live an hr away and they are consistently 10 minutes apart I would go in. But if you live closer than that, I would wait until they were 5 minutes apart
Help ?
So I went to the hospital yesterday because I was having contractions and bloody show and when I went I was told I was only 2cm dilated and everything is good baby heartbeat and everything is good . When I got home still was having contractions I didn’t get any sleep I kept waking up every ten minutes when I felt a contraction, mind you it felt the same but the nurse was saying no contractions wasn’t even showing up but yet I’ve been having them again today and everyone is saying I should go to the hospital again but I don’t want to go for no reason
What should I do ?
40 weeks today

Yeah it's to help take away the pain so the process is more bearable and you can be more aware of everything going on. I didn't know about the shakes either with my first baby but it is a sign of the transitioning phase. I'm glad everything went okay :)

Thank you I was freaking out with the epidural i don’t know what i thought but I didn’t know it numb your body nobody never said that and also I wasn’t told about was the shakes but after that it really wasn’t bad my epidural stayed on the whole time even when I was pushing and the after part of them cleaning me out etc

Congratulations!!!! Yayyy!!
Just keep going in. It’s really okay to go and be sent home. It’s part of the process. You can dilate from a 2 to 10 in mins, hours, or days so I doesn’t hurt to get checked. A good rule is 5-1-1. When contractions are 5 minutes apart, 1 minute long, for 1 hour.

You can. Or wait until they are closer and more consistent. Your choice. Go with your gut.

So should I go since it’s been ten minutes apart and I’ve been waking up every time I get it ?
