Just watch out for consistency... If they are consistently 10 minutes apart then start getting closer, it's probably turning into real labour. Remember to take long deep breaths through your nose (count to 10 breathing in) and let them out slowly counting to 10 again... This can help with early labour pain...

They could be, my friend was in early labour for a whole week! It may be false labour, where you get real contractions but then they subside... My contractions were very bearable early on, actually quite pleasant, so you won't necessarily be screaming in pain straight away... Certainly sounds like your body is preparing itself, whatever the case, so good luck!

More than likely they are Braxton hicks. Real contractions will bring you to your knees depending on your pain tolerance. The time is near try to relax and stay calm. If the pain is to intense you might be in labor so time them and call your Dr. Good luck
