GO: If your contractions are regular and 5 minutes apart you are in active labor. Go to the hospital and say "hi" to the baby for all of us at Health Tap!

Yes: You should at least call the doctor on call for the best advise, if you're not able to speak with your provider, just follow the instructions given at you last prenatal visit.
