Give your hospital a call and chat to a midwife, that can be super helpful. Based on the cramps coming in waves, I think there's a pretty good chance they'll tell you to come in. All the best.

Well I went in yesterday morning and they monitored me with the ctg, checked my cervix and sent me for an ultrasound. It turns out I had leaked or am leaking some amniotic fluid, I was having minor contractions and with the ultrasound they could see that my cervix was short, around .9. I stayed last night and really wanted to go home today as those beds drive me crazy with a huge belly! so they said bed rest , monitor your baby's movement and your temperature and if I get contractions again to time them and come back in tomorrow and we will examine me again. I was also given 2 shots of a steroid to mature my baby's lungs just in case it was born early, its lungs would be more mature. so there you go. It does pay to listen to your body and not be a stubborn old fart like me.

Great to hear you are home and still in one piece.
It is good that they have given you the steroid shot though hopefully bub will stay until full term and not need them.
Put those feet up and rest.

What do you guys do to rest if you have two screaming kids under 3.5? Do you just shut the door and let hubby take care of them or does the screaming and crying not bother you?
