Hi Tara
It is hard for me to be sure without checking you out but from what you posted it sounds like you was in early labour. Don't worry, this does not mean that you are going to give birth in the next few days, you could still go past your due dates. For some women this starting and stopping can happen a few times before labour starts and continues. However I suggest that you should start to take things easy and rest when you can. I think everyone would prefer that baby to stay in there or for another 3-4 weeks
