Do you have anyone home with you?
Are you packed?
If someone is home with you, have them time the contractions.
Did you just see your doctor?

Dont worry hunni I am having the same thing too. I am 35 wks and also I am 3cm I found out yesterday. My contraction are 20min apart thoug. Yeah I feel like I could go all over myself. And the baby well she acts as though she has hick ups or something. My back is hurting really bad too. I would suggest using a heating pad. It hasnt worked for me though that is the only problem but it could work for you. I hope so. Good luck sweety.
I would say if they get any closer call someone. But me I am not going to the hospital till I see blood or my water breaks. I have went so much that they have told me not to come back untill I see one of these things.

Yeah also I have alot of cramping down there and I am really swollen not like ever bf.

When they get about 10-15 mins apart, regularly id call the hospital and see if they want you to come in.
