Having contractions every 2 mins for the past 3 hours.......?

Question

The pain is still tolerable but not sure if this is true labour or not........any ideas??

Not sure if this is replying to this or not.........i called my midwife after an hour of contractions, she said to wait since they werent too sore. Thanx for ur input Victoria, well helped!! :)

The hospital is only 5 mins away from my house, think i will get my skates on. thanx for the advice people, much appreciated!!! :)

Another thing i should mention was noticing pressure in my rear end.........possibly the babys head on its way down, and also my waters have not broke.

Answer 1

Every 2 minutes means you are pretty damn close the pain should get more intense as the baby moves down and you will definetely feel that!! you can either go to the hospital or you can wait it out its up to you me i always get there at the last minute my 2 daughters took an hour 2 tops from the time my contractions started my contractions were crazy though there were 2 min apart than 5 min aprt than 30 seconds apart i had no idea what to think!!! i didnt get any kind of pain reliever though so if you want that make sure to get there in enough time

Answer 2

They say that when your contractions are this close it will not be long so it appears to me as if ou will be having a baby soon. It is not true that you will have extreme pain as everyone is different and experiences pain differently . So with that said I wouldnt want you to experience this birth at hom I would suggest to go to the hospital because past experience this could all happen very quickly leaving you with no option but to give birth at home or hopefully not on the way to the hospital.I suggest you do go to the hospital and get checked out good luck . God Bless.

Just because it's tolerable doesn't mean it's not labor.

My labor wasn't PAINFUL, I could talk and breathe etc up until right before (ok maybe an hour before) he was born... If you have a high tolerance for "pain" or you are instinctively doing what feels "right" and therefore alleviating your own discomfort, you may not feel pain.

My OB told me, whenever I felt like the time was coming to come in, whether I was "in pain" or not. I decided it was time to go in once I found myself pacing the floor, and felt driven to squat, to rock, to do all these bodily contortions. My partner saw me and heard my pep-talk to myself ("ooh, that was a good one!! let's do another!") and agreed This Was Indeed "It" and in we went.

yeah its true labour, your labour has started miss, so id be now keeping a very close eye on them ok and how fast they are coming and if the pain gets worse in the littlest bit possible, call your midwife or doctor, speak to them, and go up and get checked out. you need to see how far you have dilated aswell(if you are). so go and get checked out and congrats and the best of luck.

Answer 5

Why aren't you at the hospital yet? If your contractions are that regular, you need to get in the car and go!! Don't wait any longer....

Answer 6

wow sounds like you stalled ..but i think you should go to the dr...every two minutes..i would think you would go at anytime..what if something happens how are you getting to the hospital?

both my kids were induced no pain meds and when it started it was almost over..the first was four hours the second two and fifteen minutes

Answer 7
