contractions

hello ladies im new to this forum Has anyone on here been having lots of contracions.  I was in preterm labor 2 wks ago after 6 hours it was stopped. Then i had a follow up appt last Tuesday, both of us are doing well.  Im sceduled for a c-section on 5/30  but just been having lots of contractions. (my due date was not til 6-10-09) They are starting to get more and more painful each day.  My doc doesnt seem to concerned about it.  He told me at first no more then 4 an hour.  Then at my appt he changed it to, no closer then 10 mins.  apart that last up to an hour...   what do you all think about this.

Welcome to the group... unfortunately, I'm no help... I'm already full effaced (due date 5-12) and the baby is engaged, but I'm only 1cm dilated and when I get contractions, they don't hurt at all and they aren't patterned or anything... sorry...

I was in the same situation a couple weeks back and that is pretty much exactly the same thing my Dr. told me too.  I still had contractions, but as long as they weren't patterned there really isn't anything to be concerned about. So i would just try to relax and if you get concerned about anything i would let your Dr. know b/c that is what they are there for!!  Good luck and i hope you can keep your little one in there as long as possible!!
