early labor?

Alexis

ok so literally since Tuesday night around 6:30pm ish I've been having Braxton hicks contractions it is now Thursday at almost 5am and they have still yet to subside. My Drs nurse sent me to l and d yesterday they confirmed I'm having contractions (still inconsistant) but I've been having them and where from 1:30 minutes to 5 minutes I'm 34 weeks and 2 days and they told me I'm dilated to a 2 which this is my second baby so they said it could be why I'm already dilated and not in labor but my first was an induction I have no clue what early labor is like but anyways after an hour and a half I didn't dilate further and i see my doc this morning so for last night they kinda put me on bed rest to see how things go this morning I guess I'm just anxious and wondering what you ladies think of this why would they not stop if I'm truly not in labor?
