Calm down i had contractions just like this for 8-10 weeks with both of my previous pregnancies and they both were considered full term my daughter was born at 37+5 and my son according to my first ultrasound was born at 37+6 but according to my last ultrasound he was 39+5 he was 8lbs 4ozs within those weeks of having contractions i dialated to 4 very slowly and but still went to full term so calm down relax and take some time to yourself everything will be just fine and if you do go into preterm labor they can stop it just rest and get lots of fluids and if things progress or get worse go back to the hospital but stressing about it will make it worse when i an stressed out i get horrible Braxton Hicks so the contractions will continue if you keep stressing yourself out :)

Calm down and relax :) keep in mind after 27 weeks 9 out of 10 babies survive birth, I went into preterm at 32 weeks, dilated to a 2 within an hr and had contractions ever 2-3 min and they put me on meds, bed rest and pelvic rest till 36 weeks, but if you stress you will make it worse, that's what caused mine so just keep your head up they can stop labor most of the time just keep calm. You and baby will be ok :)
