A member asked:
Is it possible to have real contractions only a few times a day? what should i do? 29 weeks
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Many women will begin having occasional contractions after 22 to 26 weeks. A few contractions a day should not be concerning and is quite common. However, more than 3 or 4 contractions an hour for more than an hour before 34 weeks gestation warrants evaluation for premature labor.
