Was sent home today...

I will be 36 weeks along tomorrow. I was having some contractions today and went to the hospital. I was told I am contracting but my cervix isn't doing much of anything. The doctor sent me home and said to have a hot bath to relax myself down there. I was wondering if anyone knows of any other ways to relax myself down there to maybe help move things along a bit better. Thanks!

I don't want her to come to early, I know the longer she's in the better chance she'll have. The doctor just recommended that I relax down there. They even offered for me to take a hot bath there. I'm not very relaxed to being with, so I think that may be why he suggested that. Thank you for the advice! :^)

Well relaxing you can just have someone help you around the house with cleaning, keep your feet up and just chill you'll be fine. Next week you're full term. Your baby is coming soon! Congrats
