how quickly can labor happen?

Can contractions become close quickly or does it take a while? Im 38w+4 and ive started having painful contractions, they aren't regular but they are close togeather, maybe every 10 mins. Can they be in the top of your stomach aswell?

For me it happened quickly. I woke up at 5am in early labour, by 11am was having 3 contractions in 10mins, by 2pm they were 2mins apart, then had him 3:21pm by emergency csection. But I was preterm and I have heard that tends to be a bit quicker. Good luck!
