What Causes Contractions During Pregnancy?
I am 30 weeks, 5 days pregnant. Last night from 10PM until about 3AM I had strong contractions (cramping) about every 30 minutes (they were NOT Braxton Hicks contractions). I would often get chills after or during the contraction. Today I have felt better, just tired from lack of sleep last night, but I just feel sort of off . My temp is 99.5. Of note, I had a previous pre-term delivery at 35 weeks, 3 days. Should I go to urgent care and be seen? Or only if the contractions start up again?

Definitely get yourself check by doctor. This could be preterm labor pains. Moreover you had history of preterm delivery.
