I have a high tolerance for pain as well so basically if I could time them and they were happening for 1 min or longer and five minutes apart for more than an hour I would at least go get checked. They sent me home the first time but I went back the next night and was admitted!!
@katielee5897, @klarrissab my contractions are really not strong but I have a high tolerance for pain the only pain that really get to me is when my head hips legs and feet start hurting.
I started losing mine on a Saturday, had blood tinged mucus on a Sunday, and lost more regular mucus on a Monday morning and went into labor later that day and during labor I lost more of it and was blood tinged. I was 39 weeks. So since you are so far along it can be a sign that labor is near.
I lost mine slowly but the day I went into labor I had lost a huge chunk earlier then start having contractions regularly and they were really strong so I went in! I never had any blood or anything. Good luck!!
