I would have called after 5 or 6 in an hour's time. That's a pretty standard guideline for preterm labor contractions. You do NOT want to get to the point that you can't talk through contractions at 34 weeks! I'd still call this morning, as preterm contractions could be a sign of a UTI and your midwife might want to check you for that.
If it happens again, empty your bladder, get a big glass of water and lie down/get off of your feet. I've had 5 contractions in about 40 minutes at 30-34 weeks a few times, but getting off of my feet and making sure I'm well hydrated always seems to stop them.
