It's not bad, it just means your body is getting ready. Unfortunately you could go on like this for weeks. With my first I was 2 cm dilated for almost a month. Just time your contractions and if the get to be 3-5 mins apart or your water breaks I would go to the hospital. But you still might have time

Depends, how far along are you? And did they say if the contractions are the real deal or the braxton hicks?
