contractions.

Okay ladies! I've been having contractions since Thursday night went to the hospital but the are only 8 minutes apart then. My mucus plug fell out but no water. Now my contractions are about 5 minutes apart. When should I head back to the hospital???

I would wait until they get a little closer like 3 minutes, or your water breaks. They won't keep you unless you're 3-4cm dilated.

They probably will keep you if your contractions are 5 mins apart.
