Anyone Please..???

The other day I was having braxton hicks for about 4 hours straight and they were somewhat close together. The nurse was going to send me to labor and delivery but they stopped so she just said to keep an eye put for them. Since then I've been having them more frequently and I've been having some cramping  What are the chance that I've already dilated at least some? I'll be 34 weeks on Tuesday

That's what I thought as well, I don't want the nurse to kind of down play it and it turns out I was actually having real contractions. If I have more like that I'll definitely go in

I say of your having 4 or more for more than 1 hour, go in.

Not sure about the dilation part but same thing happened to me at 34 weeks with my 2nd baby and I went to the hospital. They said i was in preterm labor and gave me steeiod injection to develop babies lungs. I was later induced at 36 weeks.

^^ agree. Also in my first pregnancy i was having them so close together,  it freaked me out. It turned out that baby was just  turning upside down. I didnt know it at the time. The same thing happened in this pregnancy. It lasted for a few hours. Next day my doctor  confirmed.
I cant tell  for sure  thats what it is for you  , just try not to stress too much. Bh are normal.
