Hi! I’m 37w5d. I started having terrible pressure in my perineum, pelvic pain, and back pain. I'm also having painful contractions—but my water hasn't broken. I'm using an app to monitor my contractions, and it says "Get ready." I have 5-10 minutes to get to the hospital, first time mom.
Is it time to call the hospital or stay home?🙈 I’m very stressed and don’t know what to do.

Call the hospital so they can prep to get ready for you! That’s what i did when i was having those symptoms. But try to labor at home cause you may dialate faster in comfortable environments. But call hospital first!

My waters didn’t break until about an hour before my boy was born 🫣 definitely call the hospital to at least speak to the midwives so they can get a feel of what part of labour you’re in!
