Answer 1

time them!! if they are anywhere from 10 to 5 min apart ring the doc! good luck!

Answer 2

Start timing your pains if these pains are close together it would be best for you to call your sitter to come to your home and then have somebody or an ambulance take you to the hospital. If The baby is kicking chances are your only in the first stages of labor try taking a warm bath to see if the pains stop if they don't and are 3-5 minutes apart it is time to go!!!! Also if you go to the bathroom and there is a pinkish color when you wipe you that would be your mucus plug if you haven't already lost it that indicates labor as well. good luck

Answer 3

You should call your doctor, and see what he/she says.  If it sounds like you have to go to the hospital, or you cant reach anyone, its better to just go.  For your safety and the baby's.  Sorry about the other children but if its a false alarm, just remember you only have a few weeks at most left of this. Good Luck

Answer 4

Sounds close!

Answer 5

If you're not in labor you sound close.  But I think as long as your labor pain isn't regular, then it sounds like you have some time. Wow, but I'd start getting ready for morning and take yourself to your OBGYN.
