My doc always said to wait until they are 5 minutes apart, but if you are concerned about it being too soon try to drink some water and lay onyour left side for a while. If they persist, get stronger, get more frequent, or all of the above then I would call your doctor.

if they keep getting closer or closer...or if you water breaks/starts leaking...that's when you go to the hospital...when is your next check up? how long have you been having contractions?

If they get about 5 minutes apart or get stronger I'd go in. Just try not to stress over it they might just be some bad BH. Good luck momma!

Drink some water and lay down and see if they get stronger/more frequent... call your OB if they don't subside.

If you've already had them stopped once, you might want to call your OB now...
