Am I in labor?

Ohhhhh shoot man. I'm scared. With my first born the day I went into labor I was woken up by a contraction at 12pm on a Monday and had constant contractions the rest of the day until 2am Tuesday when I called the doctor and they sent me to labor and delivery. I had him at 37w/5d Tuesday evening at 6:08pm

TODAY at 5:30am I woke up to a contraction (after dreaming all night that I was in labor and couldn't access theL&D; floor. 😂) and I've been having more painful contractions BUT I'm only 34w/5d and I'm on Procardia to stop my contractions. I'm supposed to take 4 a day (every 4-5 hours is how I take them) but it's not even 3pm and I've taken almost all 4.) My belly is CONSTANTLY tight. I'm sitting down now with a heating pad on my belly because it's just so sore. Baby is head down and engaged and as of 2weeks ago I was dilated to almost a 2 and I was 50% effaced.

So I'm trying to rest right now but I have a 17 month old at home and we are rearranging the house in preparation for an early delivery of my son. Which I'm sure will happen. He's measuring on time and as of Monday he is 4lbs 14oz! So that was nice to hear! My first was 6lbs and 18inches long. I have tiny babies.

So now, I'm going to have hubby check my cervix.

ONLY to save a trip to the hospital which is about 45 minutes away. Lol. He went to school for nursing so knows all about the female anatomy.
