Drink some water. Lie down, and wait. Or take a warm bath. Or just go to sleep.

These contractions are really annoying, but until they start being so painful you can't talk then they probably aren't doing anything productive.

If you go to the ER, they will do what they did last time...a shot to stop them and a shot for pain.

You can call your doctor to confirm, but chance are this is just one of those annoying things. I had this a lot with my DS...in fact, there were three days that I actually put my labor plan into action as far as childcare goes. No such luck...the contractions died down eventually.

Good luck!

Melissa is right, until they REALLY take your breath away they aren't doing anything!! I'd stay put and see if they develop

If I get more than 5-6 an hour, I've been instructed to call L&D. But, that was before I had the steroid shots. Now they're just going to let me go in labor cause I'm almost 34 weeks with the twins.

I would do what Melissa suggested. But if they are uncomfortable, I'd call just to be on the safe side.

yeah sounds to me like your time is near... have they said whether or not they would continue to stop labor for you if you keep having ctx like that?

Are you staying hydrated? That can be a major cause of bad BH.

Ya, it's best to keep that baby in there longer, you're only almost 35 weeks. Have you had the steroid shots in case the baby comes this early? That would be a good thing to do. It sounds like he may come any day now, and you don't want him to need lots of time in the NICU.
