My doctor describes contractions as strong menstrual like cramps. I've had contractions since 32 or 33ish weeks but up until last week (35 weeks) I was not dilated. He said that if they come every 3-5 min I would need to go to l&d.
I'm 31w3d and they don't last long about a minute but they come and go so often even in my sleep, sometimes wakes me up
How far are u and how long are they lasting for
