HELP

[prudencerosealexa]

When should I go to the hospital I've been having contractions and I'm dilating but my water hasn't broke??

[prudencerosealexa]

Awwww lucky I'm hoping he's here before Wednesday

[MackenzieParker]

Perhaps it could happen. My contractions started out as just light period camps. But it lasted for days then one night they just decided go be a real contraction haha. I just had my son Thursday <3

[prudencerosealexa]

Hopefully he arrives soon even though my due date is November 26th

[MackenzieParker]

Yeah do that. Because you'll know forsure when you're in labor because it freaking hurts so bad. I'd say Wednesday morning I started contracting and it freakin hurt buuuutt they weren't consistent. But around 2am they got consistent and it was in labor and delivery by 7am Thursday morning :) just wait it out. Don't forget...5 mins apart

@mackenzieparker I'm going to wait and see what happens before my next weekly appointment on Wednesday

[MackenzieParker]

Just keep waiting. The contractions have to be consistent! I know it ***** but wait it out. I contracted a whole day before they got consistent! Just wait it out until they're 5 mins apart or at least 6.

@kuk92 my doctor said that I'd probably deliver before my next weekly appointment which is Wednesday but my contractions aren't 5mins apart every hour and I'm already 3cm dilated as of Friday I'm a ftm so it's kinda confusing on when to go

[MackenzieParker]

If your really concerned then call labor and delivery!

[MackenzieParker]

Go in when they are consistently 5 mins apart and lasts for 1 minute! When your contractions do that...you're ready to go in...If not then keep on waitin

@luxah the on call doctor said to wait but it feels like he's going to pop out

[kuk92]

You can be dilated for weeks I would just wait till your contractions get stronger closer and regular or if you are bleeding if they are I would definitely go in if you dont plan on going in try drinking water rest and take a warm shower see if that helps at all

[luxah]

You got two answers. Either go now or wait till your water breaks. Its up to you. If you think you should go, then go. Worst thing the hospital will do is send you home if your not dilated enough. Good luck.

The contractions aren't as painful but I'm already 3cm dilated

When they are every 5 minutes and you can barely talk/breathe thru them.

I'd go ahead and go. Sometimes the hospital has to break your water for you.
