You should go. Your water doesn't always break on its own. Some women dilate to 10 and the Dr. has to rip the amniotic sac by hand. That's why they say to go if your water breaks OR your contractions are consistently 5 min. apart for an hour. Whichever comes first. I like to think of it like taking your car for an oil change lol good luck momma!!! And please keep us updated, don't forget about us lol

I say go for it, and if they send you home try to stay active so your labor progresses faster.

It looks like regular contractions and they cause cervix to change. Water always does not break first. You can go to hospital.

Well they say go when ur contractions are 5 mins apart... I'd go or have ur husband/lover check you. You can read on internet how to check ur partner my husband checked me wen it was time last pregnancy

Oh my goodness ok. I am just unsure if I should actually wait until my water breaks before I go to the hospital. I dont want to go then get sent home because I might not be dialated enough

Yes. At 37 weeks with last baby I had gone to the doctor just a few days beige at 36 and wasn't  dilated or effaced.  Then water broke and bam.
