Im not an expert, but have been pregnant 5 times, 2 miscarriages and 2 pregnancies with pre-term labor. That said, I believe I was told anymore than 6 contractions in an hour to go to L&D. You may continue to have the contractions, and they may be irregular and vary in strength. Possible braxton hicks? Best Wishes!
