35wks, contractions? Ftm,help!

Start from my back, goes to the front, exactly 4 minutes apart, 1 minute each. Its been this way for about an hour, right after sex. What should I do? I really hate hospitals nd I don't wanna waste my time, whats the best thing to do, avoiding the hospital as long as possible?

Go to hospital.  Consistent contractions lasting 1 min is labour.

They have not stopped, should I pack a bag for the hospital or would I eventually be sent home?

no I would go now as your still considered preterm, they will probably want to give you a couple of steriod injections to help mature the babies lungs if possible

if its been 4 mins apart for more then an hour then you could be in labor and theyll need to stop them unless your water breaks. I would call Labor and Delivery.

Drink a ton of water and lay on your left side. If they continue I would def go to the hospital.
