I’ve had 14 hours of contractions since 9pm last night, have not slept, they last for around 1 minute and every 8min or so. I called triage and they said not to come in until it’s 2-3 min apart. How can it be 14 hours already of this? Is this normal? Each contraction is intense! My first baby.

I had the same, 14 hours with my first but was 14 all together, it’s definitely normal some people go a lot longer! I know it’s tiring but you’ll get closer together soon. But I think go in to get checked, don’t always rely on their advice

My friends never got closer together and were roughly 9 mins apart when she went in because she had had enough. They checked her after rolling their eyes and telling her she should have stayed at home and she was 9cm dilated.
Trust your gut, go get checked

I had 38 hours of contractions that were 3-4 minutes apart and lasting 45-60 seconds... I never dilated past 1cm, got fed up because they wouldn't give me any pain relief not even gas and air, so requested a c section because I was shattered ... Xx
