I'm 32 weeks and had my appt. yesterday. I was having contractions with lower back pain that was coming and going. So my Dr. said they sounded like "real" contractions so she checked me and she said my cervix were softening and that my cervix are about a fingertip dialated. Now my vagina feels kind of tender and it feels like it does after I've had sex, only I haven't had sex for about 2 weeks. What do you ladies think of what is happening? Also, last night I kept having cramping and contractions.
