Consistent contractions 36 weeks

J

Just left the hospital after having consistent (every 15 min) and painful contractions for 5 hours this morning. They checked me (extremely painful!!!) and turns out I’m still not dilating, but cervix is now soft and baby is super low in the pelvis. I’m still having contractions, but doctor said to go home and rest and to come back once contractions become closer.

Anyone have consistent contractions early and then they go away? I’m wondering if i will continue to progress contraction wise or if they will slowly fade away.
