I'm 38+ weeks and have been having irregular and painless but very strong contractions for about a week now, that have gotten steadily stronger. My waters haven't broken and no show yet, but the contractions have started coming with severe period-like cramps and backache since this morning.
They're usually irregular but the past half hour has seen one contraction every few minutes. They're still not bite-my-lip painful but are getting steadily worse.
My question is as above; even though they aren't too painful, has anyone ever been admitted into hospital with something like this? I don't want to waste time going there only to be sent home immediately.
