Bedrest? Need serious advice.

I am currently 32 weeks pregnant with baby no.2. My first was born preterm and I dont want this to happen again. Yesterday I went in for some kind of cramping or contractions. I have also had constantanious severe lower pelvic pressure that often makes me cry and almost at times its impossible to move. They didn't end up catching any contractions and sent me home. The dr I saw was not the normal dr. She told me to return to work immediately with no restrictions. However my regualar dr just faxed my work documentation stating that sitting standing and walking may cause intense pain and i may need to stay home up until delivery or as symptoms occur. I ended up staying home because I felt safer and more at ease not that I am in emmense pain currently I am just extremely confused and I do not know what I should do to not lose my job but to also not put my baby at risk. Should I just stay home or take a chance and return to work?

I think you should just stay home. Better safe than sorry. If you don't feel up for it, and your doctor doesn't feel you're up for it, then relax until your bundle of joy comes :)
