No! With gbs you can't afford to wait until they are 2-3 minutes, you have to make sure that you get at round of antibiotics for four hours before you deliver! Go when they are 5-7 minutes apart, and if they don't admit you then they'll tell you when to come back.

Its early labor, try to bare through it until they're 2-3 minutes apart. If you go to the hospital now they will only send you home. You're almost there, congrats!!!
