Im 39 weeks. And theyve been probably 5 min apart for an hour. They are uncomfortable but the pain is the same.

Time them. If they are 2-5 mins apart for an hour call L&D.  Take a bath, walk around to see if they go away. Real contractions won't stop. They will keep coming and get worse. How far are u?
