I am REALLY hoping this is it this time! I've been having contractions for about an hour now. Lasting for about a min, about 6-8 minutes apart.. I don't think if they were BH that they would still be going for this long, anyone else know?
Most likely not BH from the sounds of it and how far along you are. The best way to tell is by taking a warm bath and relaxing and seeing if they peter out or not. Best of luck either way!

My MW always says in order to find out if they're BH or real contractions, do the opposite of what you were/are when they started. If you were laying down, get up and walk around a little and vise versa. If they space out then it's practice labor, if not then it's probably the real thing. Also taking a warm bath like pp suggested is a good idea.
Re: Yay, Contractions..
Siggy check.
