Also, visit a healthcare professional about your period if: 1  You havenât gotten your first period by age 15. 2  You donât menstruate for more than 90 days. 3  Your periods start to be very irregular after having previously been regular. 4  Your period lasts for more than seven days. 5  Your menstrual flow is more heavy than usual.
This stage continues until your baby passes through the birth canal, vagina, and is born. This stage may last two hours or longer. Contractions may feel different from the first stage of labor -- they will slow to 2 to 5 minutes apart and last from about 60 to 90 seconds. You will feel a strong urge to push with your contractions.
Hi all. How far apart do your contractions have to be to go to the hospital bearing in mind this is our first and I am not sure if these are still branxton hicks contractions and off most of them have been intense to medium contractions plus I think that part of my mucas plug has come away earlier when I used my bowels sorry to be grose lol.
