Contractions?
When measuring how long your contractions last do you time how long your belly is hard or how long the crampy feeling is? And when timing how far apart they are are you timing from start to the start of the next one or the end of the first one to the start of the second one?
Lol I thought I was having them and then I was like wait I don't even know how to do this! Good luck to you too thank you!
Good question! It never occurred to me to ask I just got told to time them and I accepted that but now you brought it up it's strange the midwife never went into detail during the antenatal classes. Good luck x
When your belly starts hardening from beginning to end. Then time from when it ended. There is an app you can download super fast that will keep track for you just go to Google Play and type in contraction timer
