Good morning!'
Honestly, I would call the doctor and let them know what's going on, and let them  make the call as to what happens next. I'm sure everything is fine, but they may want to check you to make sure of that. Better to be overly cautious, I think. Maybe lay low today, and stay super hydrated - sometimes being dehydrated can make you contract.  :)

If they went away, that was probably braxton hicks, although it's kind of early. Watch for any bleeding, lower back pain, pressure, watery discharge. Those can all be symptoms of preterm labor. You should call your dr just to be sure. Did this happen this morning or last night? Are you getting plenty of fluids? Dehydration can cause contractions. Sorry, I sound like a mother hen. I take care of pregnant women at work. I try to make sure they have healthy full term babies.

I have been having them for about a month now. Doc checked and nothing changed so BH they were he says. He said he will check if I keep having them to make sure everything stays in tact. With my last son I was dialated to 2 by the time I was 28 weeks along. So yes anything is possible!!
