contractions? ??????

Hey guys well I'm 38 weeks 2 days.  I got checked today for dilation. I was 3.5 cm open. Well I've also been nonstop bloody mucus since yesterday. Doctor told me he should see me tonight or tomorrow because I am contracting. However I don't know how to count them. I feel some are longer and some are shorter so I lose track.  How ver the pain has increased.  He told to go in if they are 5 minutes apart, or bleeding like a period,  or water breaking. The pain is increasing.  Should I go??

Lucky you.. I wish I felt something. I'm due for tomorrow but not contracting yet and I'm only 2 centimeters dilated. If I were you I'd go in to be on the safe side

I downloaded an app for timing contractions works great

If they 5 to 10 minutes apart and the pain os increasing you should go in. Use a timer or stop watch to keep track.
