false or real labor??

I've been having braxton hicks on and off for 2 days straight now and for about a hour I get them consistently about every 4-5 min for about 40 seconds. My due date is tommorow and not sure if I should get my hopes up yet?

I wouldn't go in yet unless you need something for pain. Sounds like they would probably just send you home. But absolutely call the hospital to check if you're concerned. If your water breaks, definitely go in.

If they are every 5 minutes and you are this close to your due date I would definitely call your doctor and ask if you should go in.
