braxton hicks that wont stop

I've had false contractions now for over five hours. They are very regular. My pelvic area is very sore as well more so today than ever. Anyone else have this? Am I going to have real labor soon? I see the on tomorrow but I'm curious if anyone here delivered soon after constant practice contractions.

I'm 38 weeks. Why rush off if I'm not in pain? I went in two days ago for the same problem and they sent me home. Told me don't come back if they're not big contractions. I was just wondering if it was a sign that real labor is coming.

4-6 or more regular contractions in an hour are probably more than by contractions. If you've had regular contractions for 5 hours you may want to go get checked out tonight and not wait.
