Contractions and coping with the pain

Martina • Sat, Dec 12 • Ftm with a girl💕 due December 11 2015

I'm a ftm and been getting contractions since last nite. They hurt like hell and the hospital said to come back when they are 4-5 min apart. I've been timing them and it's taking forever anybody know how long this could last. Or sum coping mechanisms?
