Wait or call?

I was 1 cm dilated yesterday afternoon. I walked for a few hours today hoping to move things along; trying to avoid being induced on Monday. Here's how my contractions have been..should I call in or wait? I'm kinda tired and could go for a nap but I don't know..
They hurt but are bearable.

I'd wait it out. There is nothing they can do at the hospital.. you'll just be laying in bed. I personally like to labor at home as long as possible.

That's what I was thinking. Might just take a nap and see if they get any worse..

how far from the hosp are you???? sounds like their pretty consistant and have been for the last hour. Look like its real labor. Id go in if it keep up or they become any closer.

My contractions were like that for three days. They'd go from 5-9 mins apart. I finally just went to the hospital and was already 4cm dilated. The day I had my son I was supposed to talk to my doctor about being induced.
I'd maybe try to wait since you said the pain wasn't too bad. But if they keep up like this through the weekend(or as long as you can stand them) I'd go in Sunday at the latest. Who knows, maybe you'll be dilated enough for them to admit you.

If you can I would def do that! You'll need as much rest as possible if this turns into the real thing tonight.

Good luck

I just want to go into labor on my own SO bad. So I'm hoping they go somewhere soon.

We're only about 20 minutes away but we have to pay for parking there which sucks! I think I'll wait a little longer to see if they get worse. They definitely hurt more than I have had them hurt before, they have been 10 minutes apart for a week and now tonight after walking they are like this. But who knows how long they could stay like this for.

Thank you. (:

That looks like mine were about a week before delivering.
Try relaxing and see what happens. A nap is a very good idea.

OT but I really like the name Kyran.

Really?
Thats stupid.
At our hospital you get a ticket to go in and you can get it stamped (depending on why you are there) and you dont have to pay, but if you lose it or dont get it stamped then you have to pay.

I'd wait until they're at least 3 minutes apart, but it does look like you might be in early labor. They're just gonna tether you up at the hospital. Better to be at home and able to sit in a more comfortable environment.

Yeah we have to pay. We can get a stamp on our parking ticket thing, but that only reduces the price...which is still outrageous.

And thanks ladies..I'll wait it out for a while. I'm just so excited, it'd be awesome to go on my own(:
