Answer 1

I would go to the hospital when your contractions are 5 minutes apart..

Good luck ! and congrats !

Answer 2

drink a bottle of  jagermeister!

Answer 3

I was told that when my contractions get to 5 min apart get to the hospital.  But if you feel like you need to go now by all means do what is most comfortable to you.

Answer 4

I would be going to the hospital - you can dilate extremely fast and the last thing you want to be doing is having contractions a lot closer together and waiting for a cab.

If in doubt, contact your maternity ward and ask for advice.  Good luck

Answer 5

if they are irregular then they are probably braxton hicks.  My doc told me to go to the hospital if i had more than 6 contractions in one hour.  I had so many tho that i went in with 6.. 7.. even 8 an hour but they were irregular and they were false labor.  when my real labor started it was like clock work... 9 min.. 9 min.. 9 min.. 8 min  8 min.... 7 min min etc...

but if you are worried just go, better safe then sorry
