Hi everyone.
I'm 40w+5d and this is my first pregnancy.
I've been having contractions for the last 5 hours every 8 minutes or so.
I plan to have the epidural. Called the midwife in triage and she said to come in when my contractions are 1-2 minutes apart lasting an hour.. but everything on the internet suggests that that's pretty much pushing stage and would be too far gone to get the epidural!
Can anyone advise when would be the appropriate time to head to the hospital.
Not too early that they send me home.. but not too late that I miss my chance to get epidural as planned!
Thanks xxxx
