So iv been having contractions all day. Since 730. I didnt do anything to start them either. But they will be consistent like 3 min apart or 2 and lasting a minute, for like 4 hrs. But they will randomly fade away. And then a frw hrs will go by, and they r back again. And will be consistent for about 3 hrs. However, i mainly feel them when im still i.e. laying or sitting. Any suggestions? Pain in my lower back, and having to pee a lot more than usual. Also i get a bad shooting pain in my v.... but once i walk around, i dont feel them no where near as much, if at all. Im 36 w 5 days

I am 37 weeks with the same things happening to me today. My.doctor has.told me I will know when it is time. I figure taking a nap and waking without them is a sign that my body is getting ready.... But not the real deal just yet. I am a ftm so I don't want to jump the.gun and get everyone around me freaking out. Haha.

Could it be that you're experiencing Braxton Hicks? It sounds like there isn't an exact pattern to the contractions like you'd have in active labor which says to me that it could be Braxton Hicks.
I suggest calling your doctor or going to the ER just to be safe.
