Elizabeth Austin, a certified nurse midwife at The Ohio State University Wexner Center, says women should call their midwife if individual contractions are five minutes apart or less, lasting at least a minute each and occurring over an hour. They should also call if they suspect their water has broken or they have not felt the baby move as often as they regularly do.
