August 18, 2006, Newsletter Issue #201: Timing Contractions

Tip of the Week

When true contractions hit - itīs important to time them. They may start out at 15 to 20 minutes apart - they will gradually get closer together and grow in intensity. You time them from the beginning of one to the beginning of the next. Also, time the duration of each contraction, i.e. - 30 seconds, 60 seconds. The contractions will start out small and will get longer and stronger as the birth approaches.
