anyone with premature births want to share?

Almost 32 weeks on pregnancy #3. I think I'm in labor. Pregnancy #1 i delivered @ 37 weeks (full term) and #2 @ 39 weeks (also full term)  

I'm having intense contractions and i know that braxton hicks aren't supposed to hurt that bad. These are making me cry. Right now they're about 10 min apart. I can actually see the contractions in my abdomen when they happen. Also another thing is that sometimes it feels as if maybe the baby's limbs protrude through my cervix during contractions. It's very painful.

I'm really scared that this is it and I'm only 32 weeks. I also have gestational diabetes. Any advice? Would anyone who has had premature birth share please? I'm losing my mind and I'm worried.  I've decided to wait to go to the hospital until they're 4-5 min apart my water breaks or bleeding occurs. What can i do if anything?

So far I've had 2 prematurebirths. My first baby was born way tooearly at 25 wks so she did not make it but my now 2 yr old was born at 29 wks and is perfectly healthy! You are 32 wks so I'm sure your baby willbe just fine! Pleasedo not worry yourself. I suggest you callyour doctor andsee what they wantyou to do or go to the hospital& get checked!Please keep me updated.Keeping you in my prayers!

I should probably add too that it started around 2am and it's now 4pm. They haven't stopped.
