They told me to drink alot of water, lay on my left side, and time them. If you get more than 6 contractions in an hour then go to the hospital.
I was in labour for 4days with my 1st from the monday to the friday and they were lasting a min but i didnt go to the hospital till the friday
Time the pains, braxton hicks doesn't last for 1min and my contractions started from the back spreading to the front. If the pains come and go every 3 min to 5 head to the hospital.
