I am now 34 weeks 1 day. I had some mild cramping last night and a bit of bloody discharge, so I decided to call the doctor just to check. I thought that I was being over-cautious, but just wanted to check. My ob wanted me to come in right away. She checked me and said I am 1 cm dilated and 70% effaced and that my cervix is softening. She basically told me that I really need to start to be careful, because this means that I surely will not make it to my due date (May 7). She also said that she sees women at this point going into labor within 1-2 weeks. But that I could still work as long as I am not having a lot of Braxton Hicks. She said just to really pay attention to my body and as soon as I'm having 4 or more BH in an hour call.

I'm not sure how nervous/cautious to be here. I don't want my baby to be born pre-term especially not at 34 or 35 weeks if I can help it, meaning I have 3 more weeks. My hubby immediately said stop working all together! But, the doc. said it was ok to keep working. I feel fine, and would have never guessed that I was progressing already.

Anyone else have a similar experience? Would you keep working if you were me?
