27 weeks and 2 days contracting

I stopped timing cuz I'm driving. I'm high risk. On progesterone shots weekly. See doctor every three weeks. Etc. from 3 pm until now I have been contracting. To the point my husband sees my belly completely distort. I called the doc. I see him tomorrow and he told me to drink water (4 bottles since 3 pm) and feet up and rest. I've done that. Called again said still to try to wait it out. The nurse suggested I check my own cervix. So I did... it's soft, easy to reach, and one finger easily fits... I didn't try anymore than that because it freaks me out. Called doc again and they still say wait until I see him tomorrow even though I have a history of preterm labor (27 and 28 weeks). I'm curious of you ladies thoughts and if I should just go in. The contractions are slowing. But when they checked me 3 weeks ago my cervix hadn't changed at all. I feel silly for asking but doc and nurses are kinda making me question myself a bit.
