how far apart were your contractions when they became timeab

My contractions are 8-10 mins apart. I have diarrhea and decreased movement... Shh. Its too early. My contractions aren't too painful but they are radiating through my back. I guess I need to do some laundry and get the kids and my bags packed....??

I'm sure after having 3 kiddos you know the difference... but could they be BH? Will they go away if you drink a lot of water? I'm having the same problem today  

Might as well have everything ready to go as you never know how fast things will move. I went to the hospital with both my kids when my contractions were about 1 min. apart, but they weren't really painful just mildly annoying at that point. I was dilated to around 3cm when I went in, so it's hard to judge if it's time to go. At the distance apart your's are, I would say you have time yet. Just keep track as mine went from 10 min. apart to 3 min. apart in the span of 1/2 hr, sometimes things change faster than you would think.

My contractions started at 2-4 minutes apart and stayed that way my entire labor   I would say at 8-10 minutes you still have some time, but I would get everything ready just in case.

You would think... haha. I forget because everything is so different. They aren't going away with water or laying on my side. There just not really timeable but they are real. Lol. Ugh.

mine went from painful too just crampy after laying on my side and drinking Gatorade. Def don't want a 33 weeker over here!!
I don't really know how to time them either, my water broke with my first. It was VERY obvious too, contractions didn't start for hours later and I was already in the hospital!
