Today has been miserable. I have had on and off contractions. Some braxton hicks some more painful and seeming to grow in intensity. Issue is that they are intermittent and dont seem to follow any sort of pattern.

I am 35 and a half weeks. I believe I started to lose my mucous plug on Monday through Wednesday. Since then I have been crampy and uncomfortable but no real issues with contractions until today. Baby has dropped also and my pelvic pain has increased drastically.

I know none of these are csuse for concern, but all of them combined plus all of the contractions is giving me pause. The current contractions are amywhere from 5-10 min apart and last about a min each time. They are painful and seem to increase in pain and intensity.

I have gone to the hospital once for a false alarm and really dont want to do that again, but I don't know what to do. If this is real or just another false alarm. I am staying hydrated and relaxed but nothing seems to stop them. I don't know what to do.
