I was told that if I have more than 4 contractions in 1 hour to call my doctor. If you drink some water and lay down and they don't go away and you can time them and they stay regular then you need to call your doctor asap.

If you have more than 8 contractions in an hour, if your contractions are regular and increasing in intensity despite drinking a few glasses of water any lying down on your left side, if you have a sudden terrible headache or leakage of fluid or blood you need to go to Labor and Delivery. Right now I would say call your OB and ask. They will have a night assistant who will page your OB. It never hurts to ask. You very well could be in early labor. My son is 6 months old and was born at 34 weeks. He is healthy but did need to stay a while in the NICU, so it would help if baby could stay put another two weeks. Call your OB and see what they say, good luck.

You're a little early for delivery.
You could be having the Braxxton-Hicks if you have been overdoing it or you're dehydrated. Drink a big glass of water & lie down. If it doesn't subside within a few minutes, go to the hospital!
I had to move cross-country while 9 months pregnant, and the stress of getting things ready, doing too much -- I was having Braxxton-Hicks contractions that were very strong and coming at regular intervals, every 3 minutes. It's a big reminder to STOP and relax!
Good luck --

What you should do is count the amount of times between contractions, if your having pressure like that and consistint contractions you may be in labor which at 35 weeks is likely the case. If there as close together as they would have to be to have three in fifteen mintutes i would think you might want to go to your doctor if they continue like that.
hope that helps and good luck!!!

You could be having Braxton Hicks, or you could be going into early labour.
Time your contractions and if they become regular and lessening in time between, go into the hospital.
If they stay constant in duration and interval and don't go away within an hour, go to hospital.
