Team no sleep

I've  been having contractions all night long. About a min or so long. But they aren't  close enough together and still kinda far apart. I lost my mucus plug yesterday and though I know it could be up to weeks before I go into labor.. I don't  know if these are real contractions, braxton hicks or my body getting me ready. Any of you ladies have advice on what this might be?

Im also having contractions. At night the stronger ones wake me up. Started loosing my mucus plug last night and am still. I had a membrane strip yesterday and got checked and was 3.5 cm dilated. My guess is my body is starting the first part of labor but since the contractions are not getting consistently stronger nor more frequent just yet, i dont think i am in active labor. If your contractions slow down then its not real labor yet.
