anyone's contractions start at hours apart?

So I've been freaking with pains and cramps, doctor said it's fine. I'm 31 weeks along and my contractions (real or not who knows) are an hour and a half apart, mostly irritating more than anything. My question is have any mom's had the hour and a half ones turn into hour, then continue on down to full blown labor? Doctor said it was a huge possibility but didn't think baby would make an early arrival which was my number one concern. Luckily I'm not on bed rest, yet... Or tell me these will stop and I'll have a magical painless restful week before I go into labor. Lol. Yeah right, second time Mom so I know better but I was induced with my first so self starting contractions are a whole new world to me.

Sorry, it cut out some of my message!!! I meant.. I thought I would be in labour for a long time and waited about 7 hours before getting checked out! Lol

When I had my first son, my contractions did begin quite far apart and were quite irregular for a few hours after that.. I thought that meant I would be in Labour for About 7 hours but decided to get checked out and was already 7 cms dilated! However, I was full term. Hopefully yours are just Braxton hicks as 31 weeks is still early. If you are worried though then go get checked.
