They say when your contractions are 4 min apart is when to go to the hospital and I read in my book most waters break during active labor. If this is ur 1st baby like me labor may take a long time trust me! At 34 wks I went to the hospital with contractions they sent me home and I went last weekend and they sent me home and I was dilated 2 cm which ive been this way for a week or so. Im looking at being induced but the postive thing is that we both are not over due yet I will be if I don't have my baby by tommorow. They say walking helps,playing with ur nipples, sex, rasberry leaf tea, female oragam. Ive tried sex at 36 wks nothing happend and ive walked my ass off and nothing happend ive also heard spicy food helps but it did not for me. I guess really you will have the baby when the time is ready and when ur a week or 2 overdue is when they will induce you. The last few weeks are the hardest b/c all you can think about is the baby and how bad u want to see her. Thats how I feel. But they say enjoy it b/c they keep u up all night .Im up all night with my legs killing me! Do you have that too?? I have horrible leg pain at night. Good luck
