Contractions after cervix check

Chelsey

I went to my apt. Today at 38 weeks and they said everything was thinning and I was one cent. I left and went to run errands and I started having hard contractions around like 7 min apart... then they got weaker for about 30 min. Then a few strong once’s now weak again. - my doc. Office said to watch for two hours and come to l and d if they persist. My questions is does it matter they aren’t getting stronger or staying stronger? I don’t want to be that lady in the hospital with false labor 😂
