Am I going into labor soon?

[kmagers]

I am almost 35 weeks pregnant according to my due date, although they have already told me I'm farther along than that they just didn't want to change my due date again. This is my 2nd baby. So yesterday about 11 I started having contractions, they got closer together and stronger, around 8 I felt like I was very wet down there. I went into the hospital when my contractions were about 5 minutes apart. They told me my water had not broke and sent me home. Well its been about 35 hours and I'm still having contractions frequently and consistantly. My symptoms are contractions (in back as well), hot flashes, headaches, nausea (with no vomiting), and gas. I looked online and it said it is my body about to go into labor. (And no the contractions are not going away by walking around or changing positions.) Went to the doctor today and no dilation so far. Anyone else had this?

Same thing happened to me at my 35th week and I was having contractions for 4 days straight. I am now 37 weeks and the baby is still not here. My doctor recommend for me to drink more liquid and the contractions started to fade away. He said the longer I keep her there the healthier she will be. They are worth the wait. Drink plenty of fluids.

Unfortunately there's not a lot you can do but wait til they're 3-5 minutes apart or your water breaks.
