contractions or no?

constant backache and pain moved to the front time to time. called Delivery Suite and was told to call again if contraction intervals are 5 mins apart. baby still moving time to time. my pain tolerance is high so the scale of 10 i gave through the phone call was 4/10. told my mum i might even bare the pain if i go to bed. should i stay awake or just sleep until contraction gets intensed? #pleasehelp #advicepls #firstbaby
