should I go in now or wait?

I had my 39 week check up yesterday I was 70% thinned out and 1 cm dilated. My doctor did a membrane sweep. I've been having contractions every 5 to 10 minutes all day. I also lost my mucus plug (tmi) this morning. This evening I feel like the contractions are getting stronger. Should I go in tonight or wait til tomorrow to see what happens.

Its up to you if you feel like you can make it till tomorrow. I would suggest you go tonite, because you never know if you have dilated more.Good luck
