Hey it sounds like what I experienced exactly...guess what though...i'm 3 days overdue today and am soooo frustrated. I too was dilated to a 3 sometimes with contractions 3 mins apart for an hour and then they would stop...with a couple of visits to Labor & Delivery they told me that when they come walk, walk, walk to regulate them and keep them coming. My feet hurt from all the walking i've been doing and still no baby. Now i'm having backpain and then contractions in my abdomen, these apparently are what they should be like but fingers crossed not too much longer. You can go any day but it could still be a while...I feel for you as I know how agonising it is. Baby will come when he's good and ready but sounds like you're very close. Those false contractions are preparing you and dilating your cervix...i'm not sure about yours but our healthcare provider's general rule is that if you're dilated to a four they will admit you whether or not contractions are regular then break your waters, contractions will come after that no doubt! Good luck!
I would go to the hospital. I mean the worst they can do is send you home. At least you'll know ifyour dialated more and if they think it will be soon.
