However you do need to watch them closley. If they get stronger you need to call your doctor. If they get closer you need to call your doctor right away. For me my contractions sped things up fast up until 5 cm then got pitocin bc of my infection in the water they wanted things sped up. After I got the pitocin I gave birth about 2 hours later!
It makes sense. If they aren't strong enough they won't change your cervix. Is it all in your back? If so I can give you some tips on what helped me!
Why would they send me home of I'm having contractions every 3-5 minutes?
