My midwife told me L&D won't admit you until contractions are about 5 minutes apart at least. But you could always call them and let them know that something is happening, they will tell you what to do next

Good luck!!!!!!

Give them a call whilst running a nice bath and take some paracetamol, see how you get on...... Don't forget to completely relax every muscle and take long slow deep breaths with each one..... I've been experiencing prodromal labour for the last four days - the relaxing thing really helps....

I would time them before going in. If they're really close together then don't wait. Just go. If it turns out to be nothing they will let you know. But at least you won't be laboring too long at home. Don't feel bad about asking questions either. This is your first so there will be a lot of false alarms! Good luck hun.
