A member asked:
40 wks pregnant,3rd preg having contractions every 20-30 min within a 2-3 hr period, then nothing, for last 3 days. could this be labour onset?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Early labor: Irregular contractions indicate early labor which can last for quite some time on occasion. Typically labor is active when contractions are 5 minutes apart or less regularly and very painful. As you are at your due date, it would be best to call your ob provider with any further questions as they know your history very well
