Default At what time period between contractions should I take my wife to the hospital?

This is baby 4 but the others have all been induced so it's new territory for us. I'm thinking things could move quick because she has had the other births. They are every 10 minutes, very regular and shorter if she stands up or does anything.

If they are regular at 10 minutes, you should make arrangements for the other kids and get ready to leave soon. Generally speaking, the 4th is a lot faster than the first! She should call the doc and explain the contractions and time intervals and see what he/she says. Good luck!!

by at least every 5 mins...OR right away if the bag of water breaks...I tell new moms, every 3-4 mins...REGULARLY and increasing in intensity. These contractions can't start for 1hr, then stop...If they are worsening while walking, or sitting, or standing...then they are good uterine contractions...Good Luck!
