Contractions

Has anyone had horrible contractions that will be consistent and then go away for a little while then come back?? I'm 32+5 and already dilated to a 2 and 50% effaced. I am on strict bedrest because my placenta is grade 3 and ready for labor but when I wanna go in for the contractions they stop. I've had 2 children 1 with an epidural and 1 natural I know these are not Braxton hicks because if they were I would not be dilating. My back is just killing me and I've tried everything :(

I never really felt mine until I was in active labor. And even then they weren't so bad

I didn't feel my contractions with my second before my water broke I went in for a check up and she checked me and said your dilated to a three and contracting right now but with this one I feel them sometimes but I'm thinking the same thing that even at times I don't feel them I'm still having them. I slept a long time though so maybe I'm good and rested enough!!

I think I'm gonna wait until they get bad again tomorrow and go. I was told if I dilate to a three or more they will admit me so I'm probably at a three by now so I'm nervous about going since I have 2 kids at home but I'm going to try to rest tonight I just had three more really bad ones and then they just stop. It's driving me crazy. I also lost part of my plug but I had my check up yesterday and she didn't seem concerned when I told her
