Scared causing contractions

[Linzola1]

This morning at 4:37am we had a Earthquake and I have never been in one before. It scared me so badly that I have been having strong contractions since. It seemed like every aftershock we have they get worse. I called L&D and they said they have had a lot of women that have called with the same problem, but with the complications that I have had in the past that makes me worry... Shouldnt they moniter me?

Well I'm in KC and my BIL said he felt little tremors this morning and thought it was the washing machine, but you're definitely closer to Chicago.

Are your contractions consistent? Try drinking some more water and laying down. Are you still having tremors (earthquake)?
