HELP! 29+3 weeks in labor

Brittney • Mommy of a 4 year old girl, carrying our last baby due Aug 4, 2022

I have a friend who is in labor having real contractions every 3 mins apart but she is not dilated at all! They have given her pain medicine but cannot figure out why she’s having contractions, has anyone had this happen? They can’t stop the contractions and are running every test they can think of but no answers
