Doctor says no sex or physical activity?

av

Hello I'm currently 34 weeks and my doctor noticed I have a very short cervix during my 30 week ultrasound and today I went in for check up and I told him I've been having menstrual like cramps and he says there contractions?? And he checked my cervix and told me it's very soft and then proceeded to tell me no sex for 3 weeks no physical activity and no lifting? He says he atleast wants me to get to 35 weeks?! Does he mean that he thinks I will go into preterm labor? Has anyone dealt with this and went to full term? Also I don't think my husband and I can go 3 weeks without sex we have sex every day so it would be impossible any similar situations
