Contractions every four minutes...

So I've been having contractions for over an hour, and I didn't think anything of it because they hurt, but no more than any period cramps I've ever had, so I started timing them at 7:38, and they've been coming every four minutes on the nose since then. I doubt it's the real thing, they hurt, but I'm still sitting here typing, so they're probably just BH. My question is, at what point do you call the dr.? I don't even know! I am sure I'm not having the baby because I doubt I could be lucky enough to meet her three weeks early!Chat Icon

Re: Contractions every four minutes...

Ok, too funny, but JT just said, "I better go clean the bedroom incase you have this kid tonight! We can't bring her home to a dirty house!" Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon
I am sure they are just BH, but they are the most regular contractions I've had so far.
I mean, the dr. said they would feel like bad period cramps and to call if I can't sleep through them, but I'm not sleeping, so I don't know. Plus, I am used to having HORRIBLE period cramps when I'm not prego, so I have no gauge of what they'll feel like. I just keep thinking that if they were "real" contractions, I would just "know". And I don't feel like that.
So we'll see. I'll keep ya posted!

I'd call. With both of her kids my girlfriend didn't realize she was having real contractions and when she got to the hospital she was 5cm and 6cm dilated. Everyone has a different tolerance for pain.

Re: Contractions every four minutes...

Ok, just to update, I got up and was walking around a little, and while I'm a little crampy still, I am not really feeling the contractions too much anymore. I'm going to wait and see how I'm feeling in a little while.

Re: Contractions every four minutes...

I was going to suggest changing positions and drinking water. If they're BHs they should stop/change.

If they're the real deal, they should continue regardless of what you do.

slow down, I'm supposed to be before you Chat Icon

Re: Contractions every four minutes...

Chat Icon Chat Icon When my contractions started I felt like I just ate something bad and eventually I realized that the cramping was coming pretty regularly... just keep timing them.. and it's good to keep the Dr. updated as to whats going on. I waited a while till I called and by the time I did call he was confused as to why I wasn't at the hospital already!!Chat Icon
I hope it's time!!Chat Icon
ETA - when they are really serious contractions... like when you have to stop walking to breathe through them... you're there baby!

If you're in true labor, you'll wind up in the hospital soon enoughChat Icon No need to sit around in a hospital being monitored. Labor at home as long as you can. I was thrilled to show up at the hospital @ 5cm and @10cm.

The funny thing is what I remember most about you is you posting for people to come clean your house. It's a fitting start for Ava.Chat Icon

Re: Contractions every four minutes...

I wouldn't call until they actually started to hurt. I had a few false alarms with Miranda, and when I called my doctor he always told be to go to the hospital but the first 3 times I got sent home. Trust me, if it was labor you would know. Chat Icon
