HI Maayan,
You need to really drink lots, like 2 liters, and take a glass of wine, and the contractions will probably stop. YOu can also take viburnum (40 drops) every few hours. If this doesn't stop or really space out the contractions, then it sounds like you may be beginning labor, in the latent phase, which is just shortening (effacing) your cervix and ripening it and slowly dilating until 3 cm. You only need to go to the hospital (Or call your midwife if you are having a homebirth)when the contractions are regular, every 4 minutes, lasting a minute, and painful. (if this is your first birth)It is better if you can stop the labor now and hold out until 37 weeks, since rarely there are respiratory problems with babies born at 36 weeks. Also there is more jaundice and more breastfeeding problems with 36 weeks. It is possible and probably likely that you are just having Braxton Hicks contractions that are common in the ninth month, and don't dilate you. They are annoying, very mild to slightly painful, not regular in timing or duration, are worse for dehydration and after sex, and space out with increased fuid intake and rest.
