34 weeks and dilated help

Rachel
This may be my second child but with my first I had no symptoms and didn't know until 7 months and then was endused so it's all new in a weird way... But I just recently went to the hospital because of pressure and pain. I was told I have no mucus plug and I'm dilated 1cm and having very mild contractions my dr doesn't seem worried about it but my mother in law wants me on bed rest cuz my first was a month early what should I do?????
