Contractions

I’m currently having contractions every 5 mins but doesn’t feel like active labor yet. When will I know when I go into active labor? My first pregnancy I was induced and was on pitcoin and it went so quick with the transitional stage to pushing.

I would call labor and delivery just to be sure and ask them, they are all different but they could also be Braxton hicks that’s what my doctor told me I was having lol

@Ayana nah these contractions they make me breathe through them but I also have a high pain tolerance. I’m just scared to go too early because they send me home and stopped them last time. I was 35 weeks I’m about to be 38

My OB told me to follow the 5-1-1 rule. Contractions 5 minutes apart, lasting 1 min for at least 1hr. Or if your water breaks.

Considering you being at 38 if it’s in the 5-1-1 method they shouldn’t send you home this time your further along

@Ayana I’m still having them but I have an appointment at 9am so I’m trying to wait until then. They don’t feel like they’re getting worse but it’s still consistent

They went away again 😭😭 I’m so over this my doctor said I’m still 2cm and I’m having back labor pains again. Please pray I go into labor soon I’m so tired it’s been like this for 3 weeks now
