Call your dr but usually they will tell you when contractions are 5 mins apart lasting 1 min long for 1 hour than go in

I think it's time to call the doc,  prudence - you sound like you might have a good pain tolerance and you may be progressing well into labor.



Happy pushing!

The contractions are about three-five minutes apart within the hour been like that since yesterday but not extremely painful. I'm a ftm so it's kinda confusing on when to go to the hospital

I would it can't hurt to get checked out.   My first was like that.  I didn't really get bad pain until I was 7 cm.

How far are your contractions apart?  That's what they'll want to know.

Your first post said you had one contraction an hour - if your contractions are 5 minutes or less time apart,  I agree,  call your doc and see what they want you to do.  Some docs want them to be 3 minutes apart before you come in.

No.  

If your contractions are an hour apart,  they'll send you back home.
