Contractions?

Samantha

So I just had my 38 week apt and I’ve been dilating a cm every week since my 36 week apt so I’m at 4cm now. My doctors keep asking me if I’m feeling any contractions and I don’t think I am but I also have a really high pain tolerance , they said next week if I’m at 5 they would hook me up to see if I’m having contractions and just not feeling them. Has anyone ever dealt with anything similar?
