contractions?

Started having contractions about half an hour ago. They're pretty intense, but not lasting a minute long. Which is really confusing to me because they're just over a minute apart. They started off about 30 seconds and a minute apart. What do I do?

They are sorry,  I meant 5 minutes or less a part for an hour.

So they're going to get further apart? I thought labor was when they got closer?

With you being 39 weeks, you could be going into labor. When they're 5 minutes apart for an hour that's when you go in. You don't want to go too soon or they just might send you home.
