Contractions and what they mean

Hey mommies!

So I've been having contractions every hour now for 2 days but they started about 4 days ago but were farther apart. They're painful as well and I'm not sure what to do about it considering how far apart they are. I'm 35 weeks and I feel like my little girl is trying to get out! It hurts so bad! Will I go into full blown labor soon or will this go on forever?

I lost my plug about 3 weeks ago but I know that can grow back. The doctor said I was thinning at my last appointment as well. How did you all deal with this?
