Sounds like the beginning of labour. I'd hold off a bit longer. I think you'll be having a baby by tomorrow morning!!

If they aren't consistent (3-5 min apart) they might end up sending you home.

I'm kinda in the same boat as you. Ftm and I'm 39weeks today. Had a Doc appt wed and I am only 1cm dilated. Been having irregular contractions and I think a little bit of my mucus plug came out yesterday. Don't know when I should go to the hospital. Guess I'm just going to wait till my contractions are closer together and the pain is unbearable. If your worried or in too much pain you can always go to the hospital. The worst thing that will happen is they will send you back home but at least you'll have some peace of mind : )
