How far apart do the contractions need to be when its time for you to go to the hospital?

Question

Thank you

Answer 1

I read in the baby book and was told by plenty of moms that the contractions need to be about 2-3 minutes apart, also they can be 4-6 minutes apart to go to the hospital. I don't know... just yet.. But I wont take a chance If I feel like I'm going into labor I'm heading towards the hospital don't care if it is a false labor ... i want to make sure I get there on time... lol.. Good Luck!

Answer 2

ask the hospital where your giving birth.

Answer 3

Everyone's different, so you should really be asking your GP or midwife that question coz they know you better than anyone else!  Congrats anyways and I hope everything goes according to plan:)

Answer 4

id say as soon as you feel a contraction you should go. Then you will have time for the doctors to get a bed for you and will be all ready early.

Answer 5

I would personally recommend not heading out until they're around 10 minutes apart, or you're finding the pain very difficult to manage. but call your midwife  to confirm this  

Answer 6

5 Miniutes.

Answer 7

every doctor is different and also depends on how far away your hospital is.

i went in when mine were 7 minutes apart..my hospital was only 10 minutes away though...i was in labor for 3 hours and my daughter came out happy and healthy.

talk with your doctor to see when you should

congrats!

Answer 8

1 to 2 minutes apart  

Answer 9

they say about 5 min but really its all about how bad the pain is ...my contractions were uneven right up till I was ready to push so when you feel uncomfortable go ...

Answer 10

I think 5 mins apart would be an alarming start for me. I'm not really sure but I would say 5-10 minutes? MAYBE? Again I'm not that sure so someone will probably know something.
