Best to call the delivery suite and tell them what happened so they can guide you. I've been having very regular braxton hicks and my waterbag burst this morning @ 35w3d & it turns out that I have constant contractions. Given steroid jabs to strengthen my baby's lungs and 2 other oral meds. Admitted till I give birth.

It came about 5-10 mins regularly on a daily basis. I thought it was braxton hicks cos it was a tightening feeling & really uncomfortable but I was told it was contractions.
