    I'd give the hospital a call or go in and ask to be assessed, it's better to be safe than sorry. hope you can keep baking for a few more weeks.

    I think you need to go in and get checked out ASAP.

    I have been having contractions since 28 weeks 6 days, I didn't realise theyw ere contractions as I have been having BH's since 16 weeks, with meds to calm them from 22 weeks, but I am now on bed/couch rest and being very closely monitored, with a bucketload of Meds to keep bubba in.

    Take care and please seek help xxoo

    As everyone has suggested, call in and see if you can see someone. I did have that experience in my last pregnancy but it was more like 36 weeks... Hope it all goes well for you today.

    Again thanks girls : there still there but not as bad as yesterday and not in a wave.... although now im (TMI) emptying my bowels alot i hope this is just coincidense.

    Plan: if they get worse or the start mimicking yesterdays DH will come home and we will go to the hospital for a check up ...

    I had DS2 at 35 wk fetal age and this started happening two weeks before .... so i think i have my babies early but i was hoping this one would stay in close to 35 wks f/age too.

    Ill keep you all posted ... i have had not increase in mucus though which is a good sign if i had a show i wouldnt be on here typing away !

    cheers xx

    I would still get checked out hun even if it when your DH gets home, because IF it is the beginnings of labour they may have the ability to stop it, and you seriously don't want to go down the path of have a prem again if it can be avoided, so much better to bake them to term. Also keep in mind that your body has laboured before and things can happen a lot quicker the second time around. With DD I had no warning, waters just ruptured and by the time I got to the hospital I was 7-8cm and she was born no long afterwards. Take care and keep baking xxoo
