Unless you are having regular contractions (spaced the same amount apart & getting closer together) you have nothing to worry about. I'be been having painful contractions for 3 weeks, but as they are not regular they are called braxton hicks contractions. They are just "warm up" contractions. By the way at 34 weeks if you baby was to be born more than likely they would be fine. Pretty much all of their vital organs and functions are done forming. They might be a little on the smaller side, but they'll be fine. Good luck!

I am going through the same thing but I started at 25 weeks and am on Brethine(Terbutaline) until Im 36 weeks(.I am 34 weeks now) After that, whatever happens happens. BUT dont worry about anything I had my last baby at 34 weeks and he was a healthy 5 lb 2 oz baby and not a thing was wrong with him. He went home with me from the hospital 2 days later when I went home Good Luck.

did your doc say you were dialating?? lots of women have painful contractions at the last stage of pregnancy and do not have premies. Not to mention you can start dialating a month or so before birth. i dialated to 6 before i went into active labor. so just because you are in pain or even dialating does not mean you are going to give birth soon. just take it easy and realize your body is preparing itself exercises for birth if you will.

Take magnesium and get lots of rest everyday.
Your body certainly does prepare for the upcoming birth and it may be Braxton Hicks contractions you have, but if they really get worse, see your doctor again or go to the hospital to get checked again.
I wish you good luck for you and your little one! :)
Take care

stay off your feet as much as possible and take the medication. Other then that there is nothing you can do at home to stop it
