When do you start timing?

sepreston79 · April 2015

i feel so stupid. So the contractions I'm having start & then get strong & then tapper off. Do I start at the beginning or the strong part? If at the beginning they are like 2-3 min long.

From start of one to start of the next. Start of tightening/pain. Don't feel stupid, I have to remind myself.

Time from as soon as you feel it, time how long it is, and how far in between they are.

Hope they are consistent and not BH! Good luck

During the really painful part or that tingling feeling? I have an app & everything

Like every 5-6 but like 2 minutes (45 sec of really strong pain).

If it continues like that it could be the real deal! Does it change in intensity if you move? If not i would go to the hospital just to be safe!

What app?

I like the app called "full term"

The FULL TERM app is wonderful all you do is click a button to start timer and stop and it will keep track of how far apart they are and how many you have in an hour all that stuff. It's easy peasy and takes the worry out of keeping up with it yourself.
