Contractions & Knowing exactly when to go in.

[MomofSTR]

So for a little over an hour now I've had some pretty strong contractions. ( more like three hours but ive only started timing a little over an hour ago because they got stronger & more frequent) But their timing isn't exact.. here's the time between them so far....
6 min
9 min
8min
6min
5min
6min
8min
6min
3min
6min
7min
& I'm still keeping track.
Is it normal for them to not be exact?

I'd say now is a good time to go in! If you're getting leakage, your water may have broken.

Update; they stopped last night & have started up again, with each one I get some clear leakage, went up stairs to change my clothes & sat down on my bed with a towel under me & had more leakage with blood... not too much blood but still, hoping that tonight is the night!!!

[MomofSTR]

Sounds good, I will keep all that in mind! Thank you :)

I would go in just to be sure. I had my little girl yesterday but thanks to a snooty midwife I nearly delivered her in The car because my 'contractions weren't close enough together'. Only you know your body, trust your instincts xx

Better safe then sorry.

Yea at some point they will but if it hurts to bad I'd go in.

[MomofSTR]

Okay. So will they eventually become exactly 5 mins apart?

[Eastons_mommy]

They say follow the 511 rule. 5 mins apart last for 1 or more mins for 1 hours.
