It could be. I had it for 4 weeks.

Could be. Unfortunately it can last days like that

Sounds like it could be the start. The contractions need to be closer together for it to be considered labor though.

im only 1 day away from my duedate and i really hope this is it

It could be, but they would have to be closer together for you to go in to the hospital. This could actually be considered a blessing though- because if they stay this far apart but keep happening, then you should be nice and dilated/effaced when you do actually do into labor!

If it would ease your mind a bit, you can always call your OB office and ask their opinion.
