When do real contractions start after having many Braxton Hicks?

Amber asked:


For the past couple of days I’ve been having a lot of Braxton Hicks contractions (it hurts only in the front and they are irregular) and it’s been more frequent today. My question is generally how much later do these BH contractions turn into real labor contractions? Can this go on for many more days or can it be hours? My doctor stripped my membranes yesterday and has set an induction date for me on the 21st April. I’m 39 wks pregnant today. Thanks!
