Help please! Timing contractions

mrsb2010 · Apr 6th, 2012, 21:17 PM

My waters have broken and I've been sent home to labour. I'm having contractions in my stomach. But also getting tightenings/pains on and off in my back. Do I time the time between the stomach ones or do I time both stomach pains and back pains? X

Aww how exciting, you get to meet your baby soon!

I timed only my stomach ones!

All the best & i wish you a smooth labour x

My contractions were tummy and back combined so it was a bit easier for me. There are some really good apps for smart phones for timing contractions.
