So I found myself overthinking everything today but being a first time mom I am wondering if id even notice a contraction or if I was dilating. The doctor likes to ask questions like if I've felt that but how would I know that's what I felt? Any other first timers wondering this?

    Yes! I have not felt a contraction.... but she explained it better and i have been having a few braxton hicks. I've asked my doc some pretty ridiclous questions and she's answered them all.

    Once that starts there is no is this or isn't it. How far are you? I'm a first time mom and I have the braxton hicks all the time and those are wuss wuss contractions but you feel your stomach become a rock. I'm just wondering if my water break do I go to the ER or into the main entrance of the hospital lol. I'll be the woman in labor outside the hospital like "Omg where do I go!" Lol

    @mscheyla I was told to go specifically to labor and delivery. They have a seperate entrance here.... with a phone to call for assistance if needed.

    I'm so worried I'm going to go into labour n not even notice. I know chances are that won't happen but its just constantly on my mind. But then so is my concern that my baby will be ginger lol.

    @mscheyla i got told that if it was during regular hospital hour then to go through the main entrance up to l&d. If its after 9 then go through the emergency room cause the rest of the hospital is on lock down for the night.

    @a_wagner here you have to call maternity n let them know you're coming, even in the middle of the day when you know they'll be there. Then go straight to L & D

    @bambi_bump well you dont have to here but they would appreciate a call ahead of time so they know your coming.

    Im 23 weeeks and just realized the other day that it was braxton hicks I've been feeling for a few weeeks now. I thought it was the baby curling up in a tight balll in the center of my uterus.
