When to call dr
When you start having contractions, when did your dr say to call them?

Re: When to call dr
My doc told me to call him when they reached a certain amount of minutes apart. But I ended up waking up in labor and didnt realize it was actually labor until they were about 7 mins apart and then jumped to 3 mins apart pretty quickly.

Re: When to call dr
my doc told me to call when they were 5 mins. apart consistant for an hour... that never happened because my water broke before the contractions started.

Re: When to call dr
I heard to follow the 4 -1 - 1 rule. Call when your contractions are 4 minutes apart, last for one minute and have had them for one hour.

Re: When to call dr
I'm having early contractions now at 32 weeks :/
My dr. said if I get 4 in one hour, call her asap.

It is constant for an hour, or just over a 1 hr period???

Consistantly for that hour. So basically, when you've been having full minute long contractions every 4 minutes for a full hour, it's time to call.
