Contractions

ty

These have been going on since i came to bed at 11pm, I started timing them around 1am and they were 9-12 minutes apart. I fell asleep for about 2 hours but was up every 15-30minutes due to these contractions i think i’m having. I don’t want to go to the maternity ward and have them send me home. Any advice? My poor boyfriend i don’t want to wake him in case it’s false labour because he has work in less than 3 hours😭
