True labor contractions last more than 30 seconds at the onset and get progressively longer, up to 60 seconds, whereas false labor contractions vary in length and intensity.
I didn't go into labour on my own, but wanted to wish you luck hun! I was told contractions every 5 mins, lasting 30 sec or more or the pain was too great to stay at home. Mar 2nd, 2009, 18:40 PM. Mar 2nd, 2009, 18:46 PM. I was told to wait until contractions were 3-4 minutes apart and getting unbearable. I managed to get to about 5 minutes apart and got scared. I think when you feel like you would like to be monitored/in a hospital, it's time to get a move on!
