Should I go to the hospital?

Question

I have been having contractions since around 6pm. Now they are getting stronger. They have been waking me and I can't sleep. Here are the last few.

Answer

For a first baby i believe the protocol is 4 mins apart, lasting one minute, for one hour. I personally would wait a bit. With my second (first induced), I was 4-1-1 for awhile. I went by how the contractions felt when ramping up. However I wanted to labor as long as possible at home and didn’t want meds. So I had my son 2 hours after i got to the hospital. Just depends a bit on what you want! And if you are in doubt, call your provider!

Answer

Also try drinking some water and  laying on your side for a little bit to make sure it's real contractions, if they're real they won't stop and you will be extremely uncomfortable if they aren't real they will stop right away.

Answer

I think if you feel like you should yes but it is best to wait as long as you can, they do say 1 minute contractions every 4 minutes is when you should go in especially when it's your first because you're not sure how long it will take to have the baby, also if your planning on a epidural then you will want to go now.
