To phone or not to phone?

[purple84]

Today I am 41wks, yesterday at 1pm I had a clear show and started with contractions around 4pm every 6-20 mins, then I had another red/brown show today at 9am and contractions between 5-10 mins ever since.

I always thought I would wait until my contractions were consistently every 5mins to phone triage, but now I'm in this situation I find myself doubting!!

Should I phone the hospital or not?

No harm in calling, they will either stall you and say wait at home for a bit longer, or tell you to come on in. Sending you positive vibes for a nice straightforward birth!

Give them a call, they prefer to know that you'll be in sometime within the next 24/48hrs. Good luck

Thank you ladies for advice.
I have just phoned them and they have asked me lots of questions and they are happy with how I am doing and I am to stay at home as long as possible, unless I am unable to cope with contractions or my waters break etc.
It has put my mind at ease just phoning them.
Hopefully baby will show soon xx

How are you doing OP? Hope that you are having newborn snuggles by now.
