Sorry girl phone is trippn but wat I was tryna say was if the pain gets to where its unbearable then goo in kus u could b in labor even f there just 6-7 min apart....every womans body is different....with one of my sons I was contracting but didnt even kno kus I wasnt feeling ne pain but I still was n labor and my aunt was in labor when she was contracting every other hour ...so I say if the pain gets to much for u to handle then u should go to the hospital=)

I waited until mine were 2 min apart but i live 1 min away from the hospital.
If you live far from the hospital,  I'd leave now...If they're consistent
