How close should you let your contractions get before you call your doctor?

at the hospital here you preregister at 32 wks,   So as long as you have done that registration then they tell you when your water breaks or when the contractions are 5-7 mins apart.

They say 5 minutes but I would go in at every 10 minutes + you want to pre-register at hospital to get in a bit quicker.  I hated when I was 5 minutes apart with contractions and they were mone concerned with my birthdate. Haha uhm . I remember saying i didn't have one and unless you me to hit you in the head you might want to ask me later then my water broke haha left them a nice mess. Anyway
