Early labor??

melissa

How long does early labor last? I been cramping since yesterday. I called my doctor and she said to wait until they are intense to where I can’t talk and less than 5 mins apart. I’ll be 40w on Tuesday and was scheduled to be induced.

They are pretty uncomfortable and slightly painful and regular since about last night. But anywhere from 7min-20 mins and now closer to 10min apart. 

Wondering now what’s going to happen now. Is this early labor? False labor? How long does this last?? I was checked on Saturday and I was not dilated at all, still no lost mucus plug, no water breaking and no bloody show as of now.
