I'm 35.5 weeks, and my BH contractions have been out of control this morning- pretty much every 10-15 minutes. They aren't painful but they're very uncomfortable.
Any recommendations?

Last time my midwife told me to drink some water and lie down for an hour, and to call after that if I was still getting more than 4 an hour.

I would do as @lovehoneybee: suggested: go home and lay down, drink lots of water. If they continue to come every 10 minutes or so, might be worth giving the midwife a call. I had tons of BH, and I went to L&D several times because they got regular enough to time. It was just prodromal labor, but I felt better being monitored for a while.

Yup, agree with the above. Rest and water and if they dont subside, call the doc.

My OB said to call if they were more than 6 per hour, but if they are timable and coming in regular intervals you should definitely call. My OB stressed the last part. I had more than 6 per hour plenty of times and called and she never had me come in, but she said if they were on a regular schedule like contractions, she would have had me come straight in.

@yoursilverlining: ahh that's the missing piece. They're pretty irregular still- sometimes 10 min apart, sometimes 25 min apart!
I'll chug water and see what happens- I can't go home, but I'll keep an eye on thingsThanks everyone!

@Mrs. Oatmeal: Also I think they should start to increase/progress. So if its staying very variable over 2 hours or so, its probably nothing. If it increases and gets regular then I would worry.
