35 weeks contractions that are constant but mild.

35 weeks having constant contractions that are sporadic. Sometime 5mins apart sometimes 3 sometimes 6. Went to the hospital last night and said I am contracting and the babies head is low but I am only 1 cm dilated. This is my second pregnancy but don't remember feeling contractions this early with my daughter. Has anyone had contractions like this and delivered a few days or so later?

I'm 33 weeks abd have been having contractions since I was 28 weeks. Gone to l&d twice so far and the just give me the shots and send me home. I'm not dilated at all but the contractions are annoying. I've just been told to try and drink plenty of water and rest as much as possible. Hope things well for you, good luck.

I didn't know they can give you a shot to stop contractions. I am still contracting and feel him push on my bladder a lot. I hope he waits a little longer to arrive.

Yes they're are considered prelabor contractions I'm 38 weeks was experiencing them around 35 weeks went to L&D they never checked me -.- but gave me 3 shots to stop them and safe to say they only made me throw up.

My doctor did tell me to try and leave your bladder as empty as possible even if you don't feel the need too still try and go. As the baby gets bigger they have less room which cause everything to squish together organs and all. I'm pretty tiny so as soon as my bladder is full I get contractions

I'm 34 weeks and getting contractions like that too I havnt been to the doctor yet so I'm wondering how far I'm dilated..his head is very low every time he moves it it makes me jump lol and he's been dropped for a couple weeks now. This will be my second boy, my first was 8 days overdue, but I'm getting a feeling overdue won't be happening this time
