Contractions are 5-7 mins apart and not dialating, baby dropped,doc said it wasnt braxton hicks..sent me home... no explanation. please help!(34wks)?

MFM evaluation : Babies can drop this early without risk of preterm birth, but a close follow-up with your OB, and perhaps a trip to a maternal-fetal medicine specialist is warranted. I would make sure you are checked at least once or twice weekly until 36 weeks, and thereafter per your OB. If your water breaks or your contractions become more frequent and painful, make the appt to see the OB, don't feel bad
