When should I go to the hospital?
Heading To The Hospital
When to head to the hospital depends on the status of your pregnancy health, how far you are from the hospital and how close together your contracions are. You should have discussed with your doctor or midwife about when you should head to the hospital. As a rule of thumb, under normal circumstances, usually your doctor will suggest to wait until your contractions are about 5 minutes apart. This will vary according to whether or not your bag of waters has broken, if this is your 2nd or subsequent pregnancy, etc.
