I would call your dr to be safe. Also make sure you are well hydrated as that can make contractions worse.  Good luck.

How many weeks are you? I'd go in and ask to be monitored so they can get an accurate picture of your contractions.

I would definitely go in. Leave it too long and it may be too late to stop. Better safe than sorry!
