Should I go to the hospital? 34 weeks pregnant with back pain and contractions all night?

I've been having contractions since last night, they have been irregular, but persistent. Some have been strong enough to wake me up. I've also been having a lot of back pain since I've been contracting....

Should I go to the hospital or just wait for my appointment tomorrow afternoon?

I've already had about 4 episodes of contractions in the past month, that have lasted over 4 hours. I haven't been checked yet for dilation or effacement.

Thanks in advance! xx

    Having any contractions real or not before 37wks you should go straight to your doctor.

    I'm currently 38wks and have been experiencing Braxton Hicks since Monday. Very painful. Starts @ the top of my stomach & ends @ my lower back.

    I would get it checked out. Just to be safe. Even if you think it's nothing. It will give you peace of mind.

    Congrats.

    It sounds like Braxton hicks contractions. They can feel like real contractions but they aren't. Back pain is normal in pregnancy.
