contractions at one hour apart

m 31 weeks along and my contractions (real or not who knows) are an hour and a half apart, mostly irritating more than anything. My question is have any mom's had the hour and a half ones turn into hour, then continue on down to full blown labor? Doctor said it was a huge possibility but didn't think baby would make an early arrival which was my number one concern. Luckily I'm not on bed rest, yet...

I'm having contractions that are 2-5 minutes apart I'm 36weeks they are pretty strong but not painful at all. I have no idea if I'm dialated or effaced. Should go to labor and delivery or will I be ok? I really dont want to go and be sent home the hospital is 20min away and I have to get on the highway to get there I have no car so I have get ride.

Started having contractions about half an hour ago. They're pretty intense, but not lasting a minute long. Which is really confusing to me because they're just over a minute apart. They started off about 30 seconds and a minute apart. What do I do?

same exact thing happened to me today, but my contractions are 2-3 minutes apart. they said the only reason I was being discharged was because they want me to labor longer at home.

At work, I have contractions about 10 to 15 minutes apart. I am a housekeeper at a hospital. I called my clinic and they told me to rest. I cant, I have to work. 33 weeks so far and also they want me to exercise because of gestational diabetes. Which brings on contractions. 7 contractions in 1 hour is too many. Has anyone else experienced this and what did your doctor say?

Your contractions should be 3-5 minutes apart. Which means from the beginning of one contraction until the beginning of the next one is how far apart they are. Don't worry about how long they last. My doctor told me 60-90 seconds but mine never lasted longer than 45 seconds up until I pushed out my son. Mine started out at 2-3 minutes apart I labored at home for 4 hours I didn't leave until I knew it was time.

Im 36 weeks today and im having constant back pain and i think contractions on one side there like period cramps coming and going. Am i in early labor??

5-1-1. Five minutes apart, last for a minute each, and go for at least one hour. Good luck!

If it stops, it's not the real thing.

Okay im due January 20th ill be 37 weeks tuesday and the night before i had 4 contractions that i counted before i went to sleeo then i had 3 mord today, however they were an hour apart, all the braxton hicks contractions ive had were never that many should i be worried?

Absolutely, with my first baby my contractions were 10 min apart with the worst pains and no baby. Just keep counting how far they are apart or how bad the pain is, just hang on mommy!

I was told if my contractions were consistent for an hour at 10 mins apart to go to the hospital. Mine were consistent for an hour at 4 mins apart so I came to the hospital. They have me hooked up to a machine to time my contractions and my baby's heart. I'm still having contractions, but I'm not convinced I'm in labor yet. I wish it were more obvious when labor started. Lol. For my first child my water broke, he was easy. This one is a guessing game. I'm 37.

Monday evening I went walking and later on that night around midnight I used my vibrator to have a orgasm. Woke up around 2 with contractions 3-5 min apart lasting 45-70 seconds.They started getting stronger so I went 2 labor and delivery a lil after 5am, where they monitored me for a hour or so I was 1 cm 60% effaced. So I went walking around the park and came back around 8:30am...still no progress but stronger contractions still 3-5 min apart. After going home getting in the shower...

Write down the time that each contraction ends. After a half hour, or less, you can start to see a pattern if it's real labor..aka, they are approximately 3 minutes apart, or 6 minutes apart, etc.

They started up and I went to the hospital around 2 30 Am on Tuesday when the contractions were 5 min apart for 1 hour. Had him at 9 40 am Tuesday. Yeah your little one may very well be coming within a day or so.:).

If your bowels are irritated (from whatever may cause your diarrhea) it can cause contractions. That's how Castor oil works, it's happened twice to me, but they stop by morning. I've been told to call my midwife when I'm having contractions that last one minute, are 4 minutes apart(finish to start) for one hour.

I'm having contractions too, they come every 10-15 mins but they are bareable I feel cramps too , I'll wait it out and see what happens when they are 7 mins apart I'll call

They say to follow the 511 rule. Contractions five minutes apart, lasting one minute, for an hour. Idk if you'd want to wait that long since you're only 34 weeks. Try walking, changing position, warm shower if it hasnt gone away then you might want to go to the hospital.

no harm going to hospital to check how far dilated you are and they can also see if it is contractions or not, but they say its not labour until contractions are like few mins apart, but if theres pressure then that could be real contractions..plus you are 39weeks, okay to have a baby now... just go check it out... no water break?

They gave me a choice to go home or walk around the hospital for an hour. ..If I dialated more after that hour, I would get admitted. After the hour was up, i was 6 cm so I had my daughter a little later that day. Maybe your hospital does the same. Man, that sounds just like me when I was in labor. Especially the needing to poop part. Screw it, go to the hospital lol. A lot can change in 2 hours.

day 1 had irreguar contractions starting at 30 mins apart for the whole day the next day 2 they were 15mins apart and day 3 were 4 mins apart that's when I went in... I hope u don't suffer like I did but every woman is different good luck!

ve had a few nights where I will have contractions (rather painful ones) two minutes apart for almost an hour, then they taper off and are gone within another hour. I have been in contact with my doctor and have instructions from her to adhere to pelvic rest and stay off my feet. Just wondering if any mom's had experienced something like this? Did you go to term, or did bubs come a bit early? I know every experience is different, just trying to get a feel for what others have had happen.

They then kept me for one more hour to see if i would keep progressing but by the time another hour rolled around I was still about a 3. even though my contractions were still 3 min apart they sent me home. My contractions have been still consistantly 3 min apart since friday. This morning I woke up to use the restroom and bam! mucus plug... and I'm still having contractions.. so my question is... should i go head and call L&D and head in? I just feel like this is it... 38wks pregnant.

Iv had 4 separate pains that where roughly 7-10 mins apart then for an hour I had nothing. They started again and I had 8 that where 7-10 mins apart for over an hour then nothing again.

Just call dr and see what they say or want you to do.
