Contractions
So today I went to my OB appointment & told him I was having pains & found out I have been having real contractions! I'm 21 weeks & of course this is terrifying to hear! He says to time them to make sure they don't go any lower then 15 mins apart. How do I go about timing them??? Help!?
You time them starting at the beginning of a contraction to the begining of the next one
My doctor is a horrible doctor but the only one I could get! The only good news is, my cervix is still closed but I thought if I was having contractions they give you something to stop them! I'm a ftm & very terrified!
Start of the first to start of the second. There's even apps available to help record contractions. You press a button when you feel one starting. You press another button when it stops. So it'll give you the length of contraction and time apart.
