Are contractions during 35 weeks of pregnancy a concern?
Patient: 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? Doctor: 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.Regards,Dr. Mandavi Rai
