40 weeks pregnant. contractions 3-5 min apart for a little over a hour not horribly painful but very uncomfortable . should i go to the hospital?

Ask your provider: It's always best to call your OB provider if you're considering going to the hospital because it's easier to get a quick answer and provide more details. If it's your first baby and they've only been going for an hour, they may or may not turn into real labor. It's been a few hours since you asked this, so hopefully it's a little clearer now! Best of luck!
