contractions finally!

Been having terrible contractions 6-10 minutes apart for 3 hours now! They're worse than I imagined! Hoping they get closer. L&D says call when they're 5 minutes apart for an hour :( any advice on getting through them a little easier?

Bath. They help a lot. Also when they come don't fight them. Don't close your eyes focus on something and let them happen. That's a bug mistake most make is fighting the contraction. Don't clinch those buttcheeks haha.

That *****! Hopefully they pick up more so you can go in or let off a bit so you can rest!

I might try that. They're still 6-10 minutes apart. Very strong and it's midnight here so I'm trying my hardest to sleep but I doze off and get woken up by a contraction. It's frustrating :(
