If they are coming in regular intervals, or you are having more than 4 in an hour, that could mean you are going into preterm labor. just monitor them, and if they are regular or you are having too many, go into the hospital for a nonstress test. they will monitor your contractions and the baby, and possibly do a test called a fetal fibronctin test where they check for a protein the body releases prior to childbirth. good luck <br><b>References : </b><br> you need to count the contractions. start timing them from the start of one contraction to the start of the next.
