Hello!
Thanks for your query.
You do not need to worry because uterine contraction are normal in this gestational age(you are in term)
These contraction are a sign that your labor is coming soon.
You should need to worry and go to the hospital when:
-contraction come at regular intervals and last about 30-70 seconds.As time progresses they become closer to each other
-contractions continue despite movements and changing positions
-contractions steadily increase in strength
-contractions usually start in the lower back and move to the front of the abdomen
-or when you have premature ruptures of membranes.
Take care of you and your baby
