Hi, thanks for using HCM..
I understand your concern.. It sounds like you are going into labour . It would be better to go to the hospital for a check up and see for cervical dilatation. 3-4 contractions lasting fr 45 sec in 10 min shows good contraction. Is this your 1st pregnancy? In 1st delivery the duration of 2nd stage is greater than 2nd pregnancy.. hope i have answered your queries.. Good day.
