should i?

I'm 27 weeks pregnant and for the last 30 min I have been having contractions that are 3 min apart lasting 30sec. They came out of no where. Should I go to l&d or wait and see if it dies down, or should I call the er and see what they say?

If you have to breathe through them, you need to go to l&d, braxton hicks should not be that painful!

Are they painful? Have u tried walking around or taking a warm bath to see if they change?  Try eating a light snack. Also make sure ur not dehydrated bcus that will cause contractions. You can always call L&D, they will let u know what to do.

Drink some water and lay on your left side. That's what l&d told me to do. True contractions won't go away.
