Is this it or a false alarm?

Alright, it's now 10 to 5 (am) here... I've been up off and on since about
330am. At about 430am, I got up and went to the washroom, and this bad
cramping feeling is going on.
I got up in bed - even work DH up (NOT on purpose) - and just sat on the
bed, thinking maybe this would stop if I wasn't laying. Yea, no.
N is getting picked up for work at 645 (just under 2 hours from now) I think
I'm going to drive myself to the hospital to get checked out before he
leaves for work and before I don't know if I can drive. At this point, I am
alright, I think... The hospital is close - about 10 minutes away or so -
but then again, I've never driven there at 5ish in the morning. I think
I'll just book it down there, as morning rush hour traffic is going to start
in the next little while.
This is now paining #3 starting since I sat down here.
Ok, I'm going to go. Just to get checked out BEFORE DH has to leave for
work and DS has to catch his school bus. Hopefully I'll be home in plenty
of time, but my stomach!!! arg!

Good luck!
That timing is almost identical to mine. At 5am I emailed my boss to
say I wasn't coming in "but I don't think this is labor yet, just been
up all night." By 6am I knew it was

Happy Labour!

Have a wonderful birth!
