If you are at the end of your pregnancy and your doctor is talking induction there are a couple of methods you can use to avoid it. The simplest is to eat the spiciest food you can stand then shortly thereafter go to bed and have as many orgasms as you can. This sometimes gets the uterus contracting. (I call it the Mex and Sex Method) if this doesn't work you can try castor oil induction. Do some research on the net before you try this.
The strongest indication that contractions are occurring in association with true labor is that the contractions begin to occur at regular intervals. This is contrary to Braxton-Hicks contractions, which are spontaneous, random uterine contractions that do not occur with actual labor.
normally is 5 mins, but you can go eairler depending on what your doctor says and if your water has broke, also it depends on how far you are Dilated.
I think you may be referring to what are called "Braxton-Hicks" contractions.
Which of the following is true of teenage pregnancy and parenthhood

Yes it is true your nose can spread during pregnancy.
You start the timing at the begining of one contraction until the pain stops, and time how long it lasts. This shows how long the contractions are, but in order to get the correct time apart for each contraction you time from the beginning of one contraction to the beginning of the next. This will give you the correct length of the contractions and the correct time for how far apart the contractions are getting. You need to be sure to keep a timer going, and to write all of the times down as soon as you begin your contractions. Be sure to take this information to your hospital or midwives when you go to give birth, they will need to know the timing. - annonymous (information received via a Pregnancy class in Texas)

If I am not mistaken, 'True Grit' is a fictional American Western novel, set in the 1800s. The contraction "ain't" was coined in 1706, but it may not have been the first.
No it wont dilate the cervix because it is not true labor.
True
Braxton Hicks contractions can occur far before labor actually begins, though sometimes they might occur shortly before a woman goes into labor. The first "true" labor sensations can be anything from crampiness to "full blown" contractions to losing one's mucous plug to having bloody show to experiencing loose stool or to feeling one's water break.
