First of all, the machines do not measure the intensity of the contraction. The only way to measure the intensity or how "strong" a contraction is, is by the nurse palpating the abdomen or by an IUPC(intrauterine pressure catheter). what the nurses should have done was, check you an hour later to see if there was cervical change. Cograts on your new baby!
