could this be labor?

Having contractions 3-7 minutes apart but most are not super painful just really uncomfortable... should I go in and get checked just in case?

I never had take your breath away, can't talk through contractions. So I guess you never know till you get checked. I guess I got my epidural before I could experience that bad of pain :)

I can only speak of my own experience and every woman is different . . .   true labor pains are not something you guess about.  They hurt.  But that was only my experience.  Sounds like it is right around the corner for you!!  Wishing you lots of luck and an easy delivery hon!
