Contractions?

[berenice08]

So I'm 38 weeks +6 days and I've been having contractions for about 60 - 70 seconds and about 7 minutes apart. This started since 12 am but I'm not sure if I should go to the hospital or wait a bit longer.

I would until they are consistent and at least 5 minutes a part. Wish my body was doing something to urge my boy out lol. I'm so ready and don't want hik born on Christmas. His due date is the 26th.

:/ i am 37 +5 no contractions or any signs of labor yet but im worried about when it does start as i live an hour and a half away from the hospital.

Yup wait it out. Same thing happened to me last week. I was having contractions 7-8 minutes apart for 3 hours and then they started getting further apart. Later that evening they started again. I went to the hospital and they told me I was only 2-3 dilated and the contractions began to taper off and sent me home. I got my hopes up. I'm due on Christmas day,but looking to get induced hopefully next week

Well I'm 2 cm dilated and 60% effaced but they seem to get 10 mins apart now so I think I'll wait a bit longer

They may keep you and they may not depending on how dilated you are and effaced you are. I would call and just ask or try and wait it out until at least 5 minutes a part.
