Only advice I can give ia switch sides and drink plenty of water which you already know,,,since you are 34 wks then you might want to keep an eye on the consistency being its your third you already know that,, sorry I couldnt help more,,the er will just will send you home..its just something you have to go through

It feels like your stomach is tightening for a few seconds,,, it makes your stomach very hard. .it shouldn't hurt but can be very uncomfortable,,,they are not consistent like real contractions but leys you get a glimpse of how one feels...I been having them since I 27wks and this my second child so yeah they dont measure up to the real ones
