hospital or no?

36 + 5 getting contractions every 10 minutes . Not my first baby but I was induced last time. Lost my mucus plug a few days ago. The contractions aren't getting any closer but a little bit stronger . At first I didn't hardly feel them now I'm getting a little pain with them. I have a really high pain tolerance though so I'm afraid I'm just not feeling them.  Also there's about 8 inches of snow on the ground and the hospital is about 30 minutes away . Dont want to go there for nothing but don't want to wait too long and it be too late. Suggestions?

You definitely need to go hon. Being able to time them thus early is a sign of preterm labor.

I would go if it was me. I know how it is with the snow and the long hospital drive I have one ahead of me in a few weeks and the snow is starting to get bad but if you can time them I think you should go

My Dr told me to go with the 511 rule, five contractions, lasting a minute, for one hour then go in
