If your contraction timing is three to four minutes apart and does not cease even after walking or lying on your left side, you could be in labor. It’s time for you to contact your gynecologist or get into the hospital. (5)
You must give your doctor the details of your contraction, and whether or not your contractions are getting longer and coming closer together.
Note: Do not start at the middle or end of a contraction. If you’ve missed the first, wait for the next contraction to begin.
