Are Contractions During 35 Weeks Of Pregnancy A Concern?

I m 35 weeks and 3 days pregnant. When I turned 35 weeks my mucus plug fell out and I started having contractions every 6 mins apart consistently. I went to the hospital and was 1.5cms dilated. They couldn t do anything so they sent me home. I was wondering if it was okay to start trying to have him come out considering I m still having contractions and it s been consistent for the past 2 days straight. The doctor at the hospital told me it would be fine. But I wanted a second opinion. Is it okay if I try to speed the process up?

Hello,

Dont speed up the process. Get a steroid cover for yourself and then only speed up your process but it's better once you cross 36 weeks and at the maximum 38 weeks to speed up the process.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
