a) Pack your bags. They should be at the front door by now, or even in the car.
b) Have whoever is driving fill up the car with gas, get ready to go.
c) Start timing the contractions. If you notice 4-6 in an hour for two hours, or if you notice them regularly 5 minutes apart last 45 seconds--call the doctor and follow their advice (which is probably head to the hospital). If this is not your first baby and they are 10 minutes, then you should call as well.
d) Even if they BH 'feeling' you should be prepared. Of course if your water breaks, you'll know the difference between BH and real ones VERY quickly. But even the early stages of labor can sometimes feel like BH. I would be watching carefully tonight and ready for a dash.
There is no penalty for heading to the hospital and finding out it is not the real deal. No one will laugh at you, no one will hold it against you. They are ready for the unreal labor just as they are for the real one.
IF IN DOUBT--Call your doctor.
IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION--Call your doctor
IF YOU ARE CURIOUS--Call your doctor.
You can play it cool and suave any other night for the rest of your life--but tonight--be the squeaky wheel if need be. They are there for you and your baby at this time, and they are ready to help.
Good luck tonight.

You should speak with the doctor, midwife or hospital. Let them determine if you need to get help. Usually braxton hicks are irregular. Check on the internet labor pregnancy. Your delivery can be two weeks before or after due date.

i agree with the poster above but i dont think five minutes apart is enough of a guarantee that labor is coming. I went to the hospital when my contractions were 5 min apart and they sent me home because they were not lasting long enough. The rule of thumb to go by is "411"-contractions that are 4 minutes apart, each lasting for 1 minute for a full 1 hour . Thats usually when you know you are in real labor. Until then its just your body getting ready.

Now everyone can cure infertility using this natural remedy http://pregnancyhelps.info
infertility can run in the family and one of the first things the doctor asks you when you go to a fertility clinic is your family history regarding cases of infertility or other reproductive issues.
If infertility is caused by genetic disorder then it's not unusual that one of the kids (your mom) doesn't have it and another does (your aunt).
two months of trying is still to early to be concerned about the fact that you might be infertile and it's also quite early to go to a fertility specialist. Go to a regular Obgyb to get a closer insight and see what ways there are are to improve your fertility rate.
Also remove alcohol, caffeine and cigarettes from your life because they might influence your chances too. Stress is also a risk factor when it comes to infertility.

Are you sure they are Braxton Hicks? I thought they were irregular.
Perhaps it's time to call the maternity department to find out if you should go in or not.

It means your time is coming very soon maybe not tonight but soon start timing them and see if they are regular. You will know when its the real thing. It will be alot stronger than Braxton Hicks.

It means that your baby is getting ready to come...Once they get every 5 minutes apart you need to go in to the hospital...you are over 40 weeks arer they going to induce you anytime soon if labor hasn't started naturally?

When you can't get pregnant, and things look good from the outside, it can be extremely frustrating.
The first thing to consider is how long have you been trying. About 80% of couples will get pregnant after six months of trying, and about 90% will be pregnant after 12 months of trying to get pregnant. Anyway this is a great methid to get pregnant fast https://tr.im/fd75a
