My wife is having contractions every 5 min?? is time to go hospital?

yes, take her now!

My water didn't break, my Dr. had to break it. And my baby came in less than 40 minutes after that.

good Luck and Congrats

The rule of thumb is that when contractions get to be every five minutes, last for 1 minute or more, and occur for an hour straight that you should head to the hospital. Some women's water never breaks until the baby is literally coming out (mine never broke). So, if you are unsure she should call her doctor and ask for his or her advice on when to come in. If I were you I would head in though so that you don't end up giving birth at home.

Take her now. The water doesn't always break on it's own. And sometimes if it does break on it's own you only have a few minutes til the baby is crowing.

I am small so people expect me to take a while. However... With my second baby my water was broken at 11 and I had Brigitte at 11:36.

I went from 6-10 in 25 minutes.

Her water might not break naturally. Mine didn't. With my first baby, I went in when I saw blood in the toilet. With my second, I went when I was contracting every 3 minutes, but our babysitter lived 5 minutes away and it was only 5 minutes from there to the hospital.

She's effective... do no longer do something till she is having mild contractions each 7 minutes and the contraction lasts some minute... then get the bag and the automobile waiting. while they're each 3-5 minutes call her Dr. and take her to the well being middle. till her water breaks ~(which it frequently would not easily 'BURST' merely 'seeps') Then take her to the well being middle precise away. Congratulations.

Yes she needs to go in. If you called your dr he/she would say to go in now. Sometimes they have to break her water for her. Or sometimes the water breaks right before the baby comes. If you don't want a home birth I would suggest taking her right now. Congrats on the new baby :)

go to the hospital they are close together now most womens waters do not break on their own specially if its the first child!

Yes!

If it doesn't stop is consistent for much more than an hour yes, its right on the borderline...

you should not be waisting your time in here and take her now to the hospital!!!!

COngrats you are having the baby today!!!!
