For me and my sisters, we all laboured for many hours easily then once we started to make kind of groaning noises through contractions it got serious and we all had babies within 2 or 3 hours of that. I think when the pain is starting to get hard to handle, go in...

After sex i always get crampy and I'm  only 26 weeks. Doenload a contraction timer on your phone. Hit start when you feel one coming (or the start of the cramps) then hit stop when it goes away. If its not "starting & stopping" then my guess is you're not in labor... if its just a constant crampy feeling its most likely just the chemicals in your man's "little swimmers" irritating your cervix...

If they are pretty painful I would go in just to be safe. Most ppl say 5 mins apart but I was never able to time mine.
