It's okay. She may have these intermittent contractions for some time. It sounds normal to me.

Okay, thank you
Yes, it sounds like she is definitely in labor. Stage one labor can last 24 hours, so it may be a long night. When she has a contraction, she is in pain, so just try to be with her and soothe her. When they get really close together she will begin to push a kitten out.

Okay they are quite far apart right now. She had about 4 "ripples" back to back then none for 45 mins then 3 then none etc. She's trying to rest right beside my boyfriend and I, she really wants both of us, so we're gunna camp out here as long as she needs

Question.. If the mucus plug comes out super slowly in a cat, can it almost crust over like I was describing earlier? It seems as though it's like a hard crust again :/
Continue cleaning her bottom. The mucus plug usually drops out and the cat sometimes eats it. I'm not quite sure why her discharge is crusting over unless she is too big to reach around and clean herself. What does it look like? I'm concerned as to whether she has an infection.

She's been cleaning herself, it doesn't have a colour. It just feels hard and crusted. But when it's sort of "oozing" it looks like mucus really. She doesn't seem to be in distress though. Her ears are really warm though.
The warm ears could indicate a fever. Is the mucus clear? Or yellow or green?

Like a clear yellow, but like I said she keeps licking it away so it's hard to tell since she won't let me back there much. It doesn't smell I know that.

She's a warm cat most of the time, not to mention we have a heater on in here

She just layed on the floor and her belly looks really low and I just saw a kick and punch a few times to her side then a few ripples
She's laboring. Poor mama kitty!

She's still eating though! And the contractions are far apart still. Her tail is flicking constantly though

She doesn't seem to be in active labour 
I really don't know what to think right now! She's hardly ever having contractions and she's just sleeping

Time for you to go to sleep, too!

Oh we did haha, she slept pretty good, up a few times sort of restless. Massive loose poop at 1:40 am. That was lovely lol. Today she doesn't seem to be having any contractions or anything unless I pet her or touch her underbelly or nips. Pacing a bit, and I just had to wipe her bum again. Actually, I had a question regarding the wiped I have. They are unscented, alcohol free with aloe soft wipes..is this okay? Or is aloe bad?! She's still eating tons of dry food and hates to be alone
Aloe is fine. Is it still clear mucus?

Looks like it, she just had more ooze out after peeing, she rolled over on her back and some came out. No smell and she licked it away before I could get a closer look but she's upstairs right now laying on the floor. She's been sort of putting her bum up when I pet her and still flicking her tail. Doesn't seem to be contracting at all though and her stomach is pretty hard.
