In general the midwives will want you to call in when you're having contractions every 5 mins, or if your waters go. If in doubt give them a call and they'll give you advice over the phone

Early signs of labor are contractions that are 10 minutes apart, then move to 2 minutes apart. Doctors will only let u stay at hospital when ur contractions are 2 minutes apart unless riot arrangements. Best of luck ❤

Unless u have prior arrangements. I have 9 kids.❤

Have you lost your ply yet? I lost mine couple of days before right up into going into labour, sharp pains in your stomach don't leave it till your three mins apart cause may be too late for pain releof go when you feel ready, I waited too long ended up going in at 9cms and id done it on cocodamol and couldn't have anything wish I'd have not waited to long my Contractions were still 5 mins apart at 8 cms so everyone labours differently, if the pain is bad go in, if not stay at home and go to hospital when you feel ready xx
