I went in at 32 weeks because of contractions and pressure. They did some test and an ultrasound. They stated that my cervix was "shortening" because he is in the birth canal and is putting pressure on my cervix. They said do NOT do anything to possibly induce labor *no sex*......35 week appt tell them about my terrible "menstrual like cramps" in my back also very sharp sharp pain in my butt/vagina area. I have been having contractions on and off since 32 weeks sometime less then a few minutes apart *without pain* but they quit after an hour. She checked me and I'm 75% effaced and 2 cm dilated should I be worried my baby is going to come too early? Did anyone else have this and how early was your baby?
