I'm 4 days over due. All night now I been getting contractions like every 3-5 mins at least. They still feel like the braxton hicks ones but they are way more tight and there is a little cramping coming with them. They are not really regular. Should I ignore these? Or is it normal to be getting so many of these ones?

If you can time them, I would definitely call the doc.

im due today and my midwife said to me they can tell if you need to go to the hospital as you wont be able to talk through your contractions, otherwise stay at home and rest, i had very tight painfull bh sun night 2 mins appart lasting 60+secs went to hosp and they sent me home, i was 1cm they said rest, the contractions died in the night and didnt come back, so id say stay at home and wait.
