My midwife said when contractions are every 5 minutes or you can ring before to put your mind at rest and see what they say, I think some hospitals are different! Good luck

I had an antenatal class last night and the MW said if your contractions are every 10 minutes that means you are probably only in pain 6 minutes in every hour so would be fine at home but when it gets to every 5 minutes you should phone and head in to get checked out. You can phone at every ten mins just to prep them but try not to head in to hospital until every 5 mins or less

I'm in the US so it may be different, but my pregnancy class said go by the 5-1-1 rule. 5 minutes apart, 1 minute long, for 1 hour. Though I think that may be when you go in, not when you call. If I don't know by then, I'll just call LOL

Agreed. Exactly what she says. Don't think yours are frequent enough yet. But hopefully soon for you!

Or if you really think it's it, if I went by the above rule I would never make it in time.

I go by if a bath, and a couple of glasses of water doesn't settle it I go in.
