Labor?

I'm having contractions 7 mins apart, could this be early labor. The if so, how long is it from now that I will give birth?

The contractions last about 22-38 seconds

If you want to rush it along quicker try walking around the house n cleaning a bit.. Or as my friend has told me for when its my time, massage your boobs or have your bf/husband do it. Thats what she always did. Walk around n massage her boobs n it always sped up her labor.

Sounds like your more than ready. Keep active. Gravity will help loads to bring you on further. As the ladies said above once they are a little closer then I would go in to hospital. Baring in mind your travel time to get there. Things can change pretty quick in labour. Best of luck x

If they get to 5mins apart from start to start then go to the hospital even if they dont go up in intensity. Does your lower back hurt? Stomach real hard when you contract? & can you feel your baby pushing down as if trying to push down? If all or even one is yes then its most likely labor and you should go when they are about 5mins apart.

I would start heading to the hospital once you get to five mins

I'm past my "due date" 40 weeks 3 days. It's not that bad I would say a 4. I would say they have been 7 mins apart for about 2 hours.

How far along are you & on a scale from 1-10 how severe are they? How long have they been 7mins apart?
