I really hope things got better for you.  I'm sorta in the same boat.  We've been house shopping now for months, saving money like crazy - on my fourth kid (fifth if you count an adopted brother), taking full & part time classes at school, fighting to keep full custody of my other 3, and stressed to the max.  Contractions started this week for me and I'm freaking out.  My first baby shower ever is Sunday - I have no clue what to think/expect and I have 34 days left until I'm due.  Maybe it's 35.  I don't even know =\ ugh.  Please keep us posted - my nerves are shot and I love knowing I'm not alone!

If your having contractions at 20 weeks, you should be seen to err on the side of caution.  Take good care.
