I'm 38 weeks and 4 days. i lost my mucus plug and am 4 cm dialated. having non regular contractions 8mins to right on top of each other. when will active labor start and when should i head to the hospital?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Active labor will start when the interval between the contractions reduces from the 8 minute irregular interval to 3 to 4 minutes apart regularly. When the contraction are at that interval you will not be able to walk, talk, or breathe well. Contact your OB MD or go directly to the hospital when that occurs.
