So I went to l&d last night because I was having contractions every 8 minutes for about 4 hours. When I got there they were every 5 minutes. They gave me Iv fluids and it helped space them out more but they have still been pretty regular. They checked my cervix twice and I'm not dilated so they sent me home which is great. My contractions are pretty regur again maybe every 6 minutes but they aren't very painful just kind of hard to breath. The dr basically told me I would know when I'm in active labor because they would start getting painful and closer together. So basically just waiting to see what happens. Could this be a precursor to labor? Or could it just be regular Braxton hicks. I'm not sure what to think but just playing the waiting game. I'll be 34 weeks on Monday.

My contractions started getting longer (up to 6-7 minutes long) and more painful around 30/32 weeks but still, they really didn't affect my cervix.
Hang in there but be sure to keep an eye on them. If you don't feel right or you feel they're ramping up or getting more painful, head on in. Better safe than sorry! Good luck!
