What's the ideal contractions rhythm?

Ah, contractions... we dread them during the whole pregnancy and we watch for their slightest sign as the birth approaches... But what should their rhythm be?


  • In the beginning, don't panic, they are often random.
  • It is only when they take a regular rhythm that we can consider that labor has begun.
  • Every 15, 10, then 5 minutes... the closer you get to the birth of your baby, the more regular their rhythm becomes.
  • It is generally when the contractions come every 5 minutes or so that the time to leave for the maternity hospital arrives.


Off you go!
