Are The Back Contractions For Every 4 Minutes Mean Labor?

Hi, I'm 39 weeks pregnant and I believe I lost my mucus plug today. I've been having back contractions/labor for every 4 minutes for the past 4 hours, but they're only lasting 20 to 30 seconds. Should I wait until they last a minute to go to the hospital?

Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.

These are good contractions. You should go to hospital now as you will deliver soon.

Also you lost your mucus plug so makes it all the more necessary.
