No- the contractions and other symptoms are not normal. You are still considered pre-term and I think you should go to your delivery hospital to be checked out. The fact that they are irregular is reassuring, but they shouldn't be happening at all. They are especially concerning with your history of hydronephrosis and antibiotics. Kidney problems, specifically pyelonephritis, is linked to preterm labor. Your headache could be nothing serious, but it could also be preeclampsia. I definitely think it prudent you go to your hospital to be evaluated. Good luck!
