I am mixing dye and getting ready to do a Wild Things run for someone and here comes the phone with an "Unknown" number on it. This usually signals "boiler room" to me but once in awhile I answer (Helle). Today I answered. It is The Daughter calling from work, telling me in a hushed voice that she sent me an email. Ok, sez I, let me put down what I am doing and go in to see what this is about. Ummm...cramping. 36 weeks and stuff is going on. Ok, let's see...did I tell you that I need to pack a damned bag? Do I need to take a shower and be presentable? Oh brother. She has a doctor's appointment this afternoon but I told her to go home NOW. Discharge, back pain, cramping. Help me, Hey-soos! Now, if she thinks that she needs to paint something or straighten the laundry, we are in trouble...
I'll keep you posted.
Oh sounds like something is going on! May her labor be short and the experience a wonderful one!!!

Oh Lisa, hope everything is ok over there with you guys, but if going into labor early is a worry, just keep this in mind. . .I was a premie two months no less, and that was. . . ahem. . . 40+ years ago! Not to say I am "normal" but hey, I'm here!

Every apendage is crossed for you and I'm sending all of the good vibes I can make on short notice. Are you home fretting or have you already taken off?

36 weeks? "somthing" that might be contractions? First baby? Sounds like Braxton-Hicks to me. False labor. Have her time the contractions, keep a written log. If they get to fi e minutes apart and stay that way for a while it might be real labor.
I had BH contractions for a weekend, then my water broke at the beginning of week 38. Keep an eye, but don't worry.
