Are you on progesterone shots, I've had preterm with all my babies it kinda helps. Had all my kids 33-35 weeks, thankful they where good no health problems juss need a push with breathing couple days in hospital and came home as a champ. Hope you to feeling better contraction are no joke. As we all know we CNT control what our bodies do. Good luck

I've heard they can start very early. But if it gets more serious let us know!
