Yay, Contractions..

I am REALLY hoping this is it this time! I've been having contractions for about an hour now. Lasting for about a min, about 6-8 minutes apart.. I don't think if they were BH that they would still be going for this long, anyone else know?

Re: Yay, Contractions..

  • Most likely not BH from the sounds of it and how far along you are.  The best way to tell is by taking a warm bath and relaxing and seeing if they peter out or not.  Best of luck either way!

  • My MW always says in order to find out if they're BH or real contractions, do the opposite of what you were/are when they started. If you were laying down, get up and walk around a little and vise versa. If they space out then it's practice labor, if not then it's probably the real thing. Also taking a warm bath like pp suggested is a good idea.
