I'd say go on in if you're uncomfortable but if you are okay and can wait another hour then no harm in that either :) if it's real it will only get more painful and closer together.

When they first started of they we're slight but as time progress the get worse but still bearable. I wouldn't say alot of pain ..so do you think I should just wait another hour and see what happens?

I was 40+5, had a membrane sweep at about 10 that morning, started to get contractions at 2:00.. Was in denial. 4:00 came around and I knew it was the real deal.. I was in A LOT of pain. Went to the hospital and had my baby at 9:00 pm that night :)
