A member asked:
Are real labor contractions always evenly spaced, or can they have a range (5 10 minutes)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No rules: There really are no rules in labor. Your contraction interval can be quite variable. Labor is much more effective, ie delivr the baby sooner, if they are regular and close together.
