contractions

I am 36 weeks and 5 days. I have had about 8 contractions an hour for the past 2 hours. What can I do to help my contractions get closer together?

That happened to me last week i was 34 weeks now im a day shy of 36 weeks. My doctor told me that anytime after 34 weeks he wont stop the labor..which i thought was kind of early. I dont think u can do anything to help the conntractions other than walking..but u can do things to make sure its not false labor. Like reposition urself..drink a glass of water n lay on ur left side.. just for future reference!

Sound's like labor is approaching. At your GA they won't stop your contractions but it is best that you give your Dr a call to check in and let them know.
