No I am not an idiot..
I have called a labor and delievery nurse and they just told me what I knew they were going to tell me which is that my contractions aren't close enough together for going to the hospital. They are only about 10 minutes apart... It's my first baby I don't know what it's supposed to feel like..
Thats why this is a Q&A site!
Why do you people have to be such a*sholes?

I have wondered the same thing there are so many critisizing people on here. I personally am sick of all these people that critsize young mothers. It's wrong. If you feel discomfort go to the hospital you may actually be having contractions that you don't even feel. I did the same thing my first pregnancy. The worst they can do is send you home and tell you if the pains worsen to come back. GOOD LUCK.

I missed your earlier post but after reading this one- I would guess that being your first baby you aren't going to head to the hospital until your contractions are about 5 minutes apart...is that what the nurse told you too?
Good luck!
P.S. as for the a$$holes on the site- unfortunately you have to take them with a grain of salt...most think they are be cute/funny by answering with their smarta$$ comment- that's the bad part of being annonymous on here- if they had their real name and pic of themselves, I'll bet most of them wouldn't "say" 1/2 the crap they type here. Not to mention the *kids* wouldn't be able to ask their ridiculous questions either.

I read your answers to the last question. Don't let that girl get to you. Her profile said she was only 21 and doesn't have any kids! She was just being ignorantly opinionated. She may grow out of it, lets hope. Everyone else wasn't too horrible, so relax. You have every right to be nervous and confused, this is your first--heck you'll probably be nervous and confused in any future births. Considering every pregnancy is different and they hardly ever happen like they show in the movies.
And don't worry about being sent home if you go to the hospital, it happens all the time. Better to be safe than sorry.

when your contractions become 5 minutes apart and steady head to the hospital. You will know when you are in labor...trust me. The pain threshold for everyone is different. I took my pain like Phoebe did on friends, I was like ohhhhh all calmly. Seriously though...you will Know. I had the urge to take a shower at 3:30 in the morning and brush my hair and teeth and get clothes all ready while my husband was at work. You will know...good luck.

Because, some people have nothing better to do with their time then to get on this Q&A site and criticize everyone. I would just overlook those snarky comments and pay attention to actual replies you are seeking.
This is my first pregnancy as well and I understand wanting to come on this site and ask questions because it is for pregnancy. And you were asking a pregnancy related question. Just remember, there are actually **some** decent people on here who are willing to help with any questions you have.

I wasnt trying to be an a$$hole, but I did say you should seek real medical advice, and you apperently did, so you got your answer!-your baby`s life depends on your actions,if you want to ask questions about this on yahoo answers,to poeple who could tell you anything,be my guest,but I would take this a little more serious, if I were you.I ask how to fix my truck headlight on yahoo answers,not how to bring a life into this world.

Don't worry about them, they are probably geeks in real life. They get no respect in the real world, so they try to make themselves feel better by putting people down on the net.

Weed out the ******* and just take the advice from the mature adults. They are just trying to get a rise out of you.
