irritable uterus?

I'm almost 36&5 and for the past week I've been having constant contractions. My dr confirmed that they weren't BH on Tuesday. Since yesterday, they seem to be getting worse but still are very sporadic when i time them. Does this sound like an irritable uterus? Or can you really just have contractions for weeks? My next appointment is Monday, so I'll bring up then. But I'm really over these contractions now. I had to step to the back room several times at work because the pain is really starting to intensify. How am I supposed to cope with this for 3 more weeks ?! 😞
