5cm dilated and not feeling contractions

I found out today that I am 5cm dilated and 80% effaced. I have very little cramps and I have contractions but not really feeling them. I pray and hope that my son comes sometime tonight or tomorrow for sure!! I'm originally due August 30th. How dilated where you when you felt the contractions?

I had contractions the night before I had my daughter but they stopped. I went to the hospital the next night due to my water leaking I was 4cm but not having contractions at all I had to deliver that day due to my water leaking and being group b positive they needed to start my antibiotics.  They had to start my contractions.. thankfully it didnt prolong my labor
