DD1 was born at 34+1, with DD2 I went into labour at 35+1 but I was put onto medication to halt it as my waters hadn't broken, I lasted two weeks so she was born at 37+1.
I felt more in control this time and because I knew the warning signs I took myself off to the hospital as soon as I felt the contractions getting stronger and they were 5 minutes apart. In hindsight I would probably have let the contrations progress, as I had constant contractions and spent two weeks on the couch but in the end I managed to have a VBAC with gestational diabeties.
I am sure you will be monitored more closely towards the end and if you know its happening there is a good chance it can be prevented for you too.
