Hi,
Thanks for submitting your question here.
In 35 weeks of gestation, you will feel contractions more frequently. That is physiological when your uterus is preparing itself for a more stressful future event-- the labor process.
Now, the qurstion is how do you know you are in labor? This is the time when uterine contractions are more intense and associated with either vaginal discharge or bleeding.
Intense contraction means a rate 3 to 5 per 10 minutes and persist for 45 to 60 seconds.
Just follow this regarding contractions as well as keep a count of fetal kick . You should contact your doctor if there is powerful uterine contractions with discharge or if fetal movement is less than 10 per day .
Sincerely
Dr Sanjoy
