AM I IN LABOR?
If you think you are in labor, please go to your planned delivery hospital emergency or labor & delivery department to be evaluated. Labor can present as follows:
- When your contractions are 5 minutes apart (10 minutes apart if a previous delivery went very quickly) and you have been having contractions for the last hour.
- Your water breaks. Your water leakage can be a big gush of fluid, little gushes that are worse with coughing, or a trickle.
