5 Tips For Knowing When It's Time to Call Your Doctor For Delivery

Knowing just when it's time to call your doctor can sometimes be difficult to tell, especially when it's your first baby.

As if the pains of the contractions aren't enough to distract you, there's a whole other set of things you need to pay attention to.

Here's how to tell when you're having your baby and it's time to call your doctor:

• If you're having vaginal bleeding, then you definitely need to call your doctor.
• When you're having contractions that are 5 to 10 minutes apart.
• If you cannot walk while you're having contractions.
• When your water breaks, and most especially if the fluid is stained a greenish brown or colored dark.
• If for some reason, you think you or your baby's well-being is in danger.
