Oh hun
Don't feel as though you are crying wolf at all.

I think perhaps go in and get checked out to make sure that you are or are not contracting, but it sounds like they are contractions, especially with the pain theya re causing. BH shouldn't make you cry

With the timing just remember to time from when it starts, until when the next one starts. Mine started at 5 min appart and very quickly went to 3min.

Take care hun xxoo
