Am I going into labor?

I had my membranes stripped and started having contractions right away. I m 40 weeks, 3 cm dialated and 70% effaced. My contraction were irregular raging from 6-30 mins apart, which has lasted over 12 hours. I started walking then had regular contractions coming every 5 mins and lasting at least a min (my doctor said I should call when I get to that point). Now I sat down and they became irregular again. Should I still call or go in? Or is this false labor?

    To be on the safe side I would go in & have yourself checked out.

    You can always call your OB or L&D and see what they say.

    When in doubt call. However I have found that there is no question if it's the real deal (active labor).

    I was always told. 5 1 1 rule. Contractions every 5 minutes lasting 1 minute for 1 hour. Every time I exercise such as jogging I get contractions, they always stop though.

    That's what happened my first pregnancy. I went in twice before they admitted me. When I'd go in and relax/lay down to be hooked on the monitor, they were very irregular and slowed down. When I was walking/moving is when they were consistent. They told be to go home and take Tylenol pm to get some sleep. I woke up, and went in again, and they still weren't consistent when laying down, (but I was in SO much pain) so they gave me a shot of morphine. Told me to go home and go to sleep, and if in the morn I was still in pain, to come in and they'd admit me. Sure enough, still in pain so I went in. Was at a 3 or 4 by then. I'd say right now your in pre labor. Try and touch it out as long as you can. Take Tylenol and a bath
