When you are getting 3 within 10 minutes, ring the midwife/hospital

Sounds like the real thing! I agree with Pandora, call when you're getting 3 in 10 minutes.
Good luck!

Yep, try the walking. I wasn't sure so went for a walk around the block. They picked up a bit & I started to realise it was the real thing.
Good luck hun! So excited for you!!!

That's not always good advice ... some people don't get them that close. When I had DS I had contractions consistently 20 minutes apart, then 10 minutes apart for an hour, then a longish break, then 20 minutes later I had the baby.

I went to the hospital when my water broke, and got there 35 mins before the birth.

i agree with the walking and the 3 in 10 but as RumpledElf said some people dont get that close so it wouldnt hurt to ring your midwife and see if you can pop in just to check how dialated you are etc

so excited, cant wait to see a BA!

OoOoOohhh!!! Sounds promising xxx
GL!!

Sorry. That's what my midwife told me to do. :redraft:

**Glamourcide** · October 21st, 2010, 11:48 AM

Ooh, sounds like this sure is it, hun!! I was having them 11 mins apart at well over 5cms lol, just thought my body was playing tricks on me again so I went to bed

Got my fingers crossed that this is indeed your baby day and that it's an easy and positive labour for you. xoxox!!

do they stop if you have a shower or lie down? Do you need to rock/moan through them? If they don't stop, then they're likely to be the real thing. Call you midwife when you feel ready.
