Contact Ob-Gyn doc: A 35-week pregnant woman with contractions can call her Ob-Gyn doctor and go get examined at the doctor's office or at the hospital's labor and delivery ward. The doctor will be checking for preterm labor, which can lead to a preterm birth. At 35 weeks, the pregnancy is still preterm (early). The goal is to get to at least 38 weeks, so it is important to be examined by an experienced physician.
