False labor questions?

My labor started on a Monday night. I was sent to the hospital monday for high blood pressure but they sent me home. I had contractions all day tuesday. Mine were ten minutes apart and 30sec long. the pain was like a 2 as well, just cramping. i called the doctor when the pain got to like a 5, but the contractions were still ten minutes apart. the doctor told me to call back when they were 5 min apart and a minute long. I swear i hung up the phone and bam, they were 5 min apart and a minute long. lol so i waited a couple hours and called again so they told me to go in. they sent me home again because there was no change. They sent me home at 3 in the morning and by 7 i couldnt take the pain so they sent me back to the hospital... but i took my time getting there because i wanted to make sure i had changed. i got to the hospital at 11ish and i had the baby at 3, by emergency c-section. good luck! =]

A lot of women deliver at 38 weeks. If they are 5 minutes apart you could really be going into labor. My OB always told me to contact them or go to the hospital when the contraction were less than five minutes apart for more than an hour. Sounds like you might be having a baby sooner rather than later. Good Luck!

I had my first round of false labor on 2/05 and have had several rounds since then. I was due last Thursday and am still pregnant. False labor isn't much of a sign of when the real thing will happen.

With my son I had almost the same thing happen. I had it for two weeks though. Finally my doctor told me to walk and walk and walk so I did and guess what? Lol that day after a little bit of castor oil to see if the contractions were real or not I had him! Good LUCK!!
