Oh yeah last but not the least if they try to send u home from hospital make sure u ask them evrything u need to know and then go home being assured. No matter how much of a hurry they are its ther duty to explain and help us. Human beings do make mistakes which doesnt mean they neglect our care in last stages. X sry im not expert but from experiences I hv learnt alot. Xx

I haven't been through this my self but I have been reading when u feel contractions in early stages u should go on complete bed rest eat and drink normal .. im worse for not drinking water nower days its all about fizzy rubicon mango. But u should drink lots of water or juice if u can. Dont eat things like pineapples or anything that has a sour taste. Also as for walkin up stairs or down stairs do less of that make sure u have evrything in one place so you dont have to walk too much.  I have three floors in my house and now its complete mission coz my kitcheon is on ground floor and bedroom on third.  Also hun if pain gets worse always contact ur doctor because last thing u want to do is stress or feel guilty god forbids if anything happens.  All the best. You will all be in my prayers. X good luck mummys. X

This just happened to me last Friday. Once they started IV fluids about an hour or two later the contractions stopped. I was dehydrated and my body was reacting by getting baby out. I didn't know i was dehydrated, i drink so much water. I am now 35 weeks and my doctor said the same thing if it happens again and the contractions don't stop he won't stop them.
