A member asked:
How far apart should contractions be before you go to the hospital?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Talk with your doc: This is highly variable, depends upon how many previous childbirths (if any) and how far away you are from the hospital and many other factors like how far along you are. Prepare ahead of time and discuss this with your doc or midwife early in pregnancy.
