Well guys ive been babysitting all day..And I have been having real bad pains in my belly..Im almost gurarnteein that they are contractions..They are about 14 minutes apart on average and thru the entire day have gotten kinda worse..Im nervous..My mom is home now and she said give it a while and if they start coming really strong and closer together shes taking me in..Im 33 weeks by the way. And my doctor told me the least he wanted me to go was 36:( so yea im kidan nervous but my mom said if they didnt stop labor the baby would be fine most likely just really small..Im nervous tho

Well look at the bright side! If you do have him/her then he/she'll be little and it wont hurt as bad! Hehe, the risks at 33 weeks arent very high, the only thing you need to worry about is the breathing. I'm sure that even if he/she comes, he/she'll be fine! Good luck!

I had contractions at 34 weeks and they put me on magnesium sulfate (mag) I was in the hospital for 3 days and my doc sed the least she would let me deliver was 35 but thanik god I didn't cuz I went 3 weeks later and had a 6 lb 12 oz. Baby so she would have been tiny! But dont stress cuz these days babies born at 33 weeks have a great chance!

It happens to me all the time. I get contractions that will be painful(but not too painful), and 10 minutes apart and they last for a while, and then die down after several hours of staying 10 minutes apart.
