premature labor?

Been experiencing cramping that comes and goes bout every 15 minutes. And watery discharge. Went to doc not dialating and baby looks good what do I do. They sent me home saying call if pain gets worse.

Did they check the discharge for rupture membrane? I started getting Braxton hicks at 16 weeks, then I kept having more and more contractions, then at 22 week's I started with the watery discharge but tested neg on amniotic fluid. At 26 weeks I was 1 cm dilated..now at 28 everything seems to have calmed down. I'm also under way less stress than I was a couple of weeks ago. ;)

Could be Braxton hicks. I had them so strong with my first that I had to stop whatever I was doing and let it pass. Drinking lots of water helps. :)

Make sure you're drinking plenty of water, being dehydrated can cause labor symptoms. Taking a warm bath can help relax you as well. You're going to have a heavier discharge in your pregnancy and ligaments are going to hurt from the stretching around this time that can last for weeks.
