Premature labor

Ok I'm 35w4d.. I had to go into labor and delivery last night because my bhc became real all of a sudden with lots of pressure in my bottom. I'm 2cm right now and the doctors will stop my labor if I continue  dilating this week but next week (36wks) they say if it happens they won't and we'll have our son! I'm excited about him arriving but I'm worried about his lungs and all even though I was born at 35 wks and did fine.. any who I feel like walking is helping the labor continue, even just to the restroom. Should I kind of put myself on bed rest or keep my daily activities going and just see what happens?

Thats what I was thinking about doing but if he's ready I guess its just time lol.. Plus he's really long already so he's really pushng down.. I'm still having a few contractions just laying down. I'll try to hold him in til 37 which is only like a week and 3 days if he doesn't keep trying to get out ha

I know they won't stop labor at this point, and might even induce if there are concerns about the baby's health but I personally would try to take it easy since full term isn't until 37 weeks.
