If you haven't already, I would call your doc and see what they tell you.  Also keep in mind how far away you live from the hospital.  Good luck!

Well they won't Send you home but my dr says to go by the 411 rule. 4 minutes apart for 1minute for 1 hour. :) but if they are to much to handle, go in.

Most doctors say go when they are about 4 or 5 minutes apart. Have your doctor spoke to you about when to go maybe give your doc a call and see wat they say
