what to do what to do

[clafoutis]

Ive been having the bratxon hick (sp) for months but lately they been getting more regular, I went to the hospital due to a very bad tummy flu and at they same time they check my cervix it didnt change so last week on my doctor appt he didnt check he assumed it still didnt move even though i told him im having more pain and what not i wake up every hour to change position but it really dont change much im really bad with time and i cant be certain how far apart they are they feel like one after another but when i did try to stay focuse and count it was about 7min apart for 1min. should i just ask to move my next doc appt sooner?

write them down, just in case. i didnt realise how frequent my contractions were until i noted them which were 3-4 mins apart and lasting 45 seconds. could be the final run down of your body preparing for delievery so i would wait until they get worse, you get back pain with them, your waters go, a show etc because having 2 signs of labour can not just be blamed on braxton hicks. if you did go to the hosp all they will do is see how far dilated you are and if it is very little they will send u home anyway but if you are concerned its better to be safe than sorry so i would ask. good luck!

Your body is just preparing it sounds like, but if makes you feel more comfortable, you can certainly ask for a sooner appt. Are you dilated at all or no? If not, then I wouldn't be too worried unless your contractions become very regular, in a pattern and more painful.
