A doctor has provided 1 answer

YOUR OB should have: Already given you all of those instructions, i tell my pts when the contractions are every 5 minutes for for an 1-2 hrs, or if the water breaks or if they are farther apart than every 5 minutes but they hurt bad enough you want something for pain.
