Having "real" contractions. Doc told me it's NBD??

M
I'm 35+5 and apparently having real contractions, not BH, frequently. They aren't painful, just noticeable. The baby is also apparently "way down there!" My OB had me do a NST which was normal, but tells me that baby "probably won't be late." Any other moms have this experience?? I'm sitting here wondering if I should be packing my bags or if I still have 4+ weeks left of this misery. I understand that OBs don't have a magic ball, but man, the vagueness of it all drives me nuts!!
