Contractions??

I've been having contractions since 5:30pm. It's now 11pm my time. They last about 1 min and are about 2-3 min apart. They are getting SUPER painful. Since I was closed on Thursday, my doctor said stay home... and she sounded Super groggy (I called at 930-10pm). No water breaking and no mucus plug noted. Though I've been in a bath majority of the time. No clue when to go in or how long to wait... ftm... so figured it'll be a long process.

I ended up going in after midnight. My contractions were 2 min apart for awhile. Then they went crazy and we're 4 min long! I was only 1cm and thick. (Which I was told at 33 weeks I was soft, and at my 39 wk appt last thurs I was told I was thinned).
So at 330am I was still only 1 cm so I decided to go home to try and sleep. Took tylenol pm and now they seemed to stop! But I slept. I did lose my mucus plug too, so I hope that helps progress things...
