Early labor?

So I’ve never gone Into labor by myself. with my first I was induced at exactly 40 weeks so this is all new territory for me. At my 36 week check up I was 70% effaced, 3 cm dilated and they could feel babies head, the midwife was very surprised by how prepared my body was already 😅 with that being said since I have had that cervical check done I have lost multiple pieces of my mucus plug and been having patterned contractions at night for almost a week now (will have contractions through the day as well)… Last night they started up and were 5-7 mins apart for 5 hours, were the strongest ones I’ve had yet, but just like the previous nights they fell out of pattern and spaced out again once I went to sleep. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if I should prepare myself for this to go on for awhile??? I’m just tired and my body is tired and sore :/
