contractions.. oyyy
Ok, so ive been having contractions every 10 min. like clockwork for 2 hours and 10 min. now.. i have not called the dr. cause I do not want to rush to the hospital just to be sent home. They are uncomfortable and have pain and i was just at the hospital a little less than 2 weeks ago with contractions only to be sent home. On saturday ill be 39 weeks.. im not sure what im waiting for to go to the hospital or not.. i think im thinking they just might subside.. any thoughts? They started exactly at 3:13 being 10 min. apart.. no change at all. help!

Re: contractions.. oyyy
Isn't the rule of thumb: 5-1-1?
Go to the hospital when your contractions are 3-5 minutes apart, lasting for 60 seconds, for at least one full hour or more.

Re: contractions.. oyyy
How exciting!!! My doctor told me to head over to the hospital once the contractions are 3-5 minutes apart for at least an hour or two. According to what your experiencing it definitely sounds promising!
Please keep us updated!!! Good Luck!!! I'm THRILLED for you!!!!!!
Unfortunately, I'm still here with 3 days to go and no sign of my baby girl
