Uh oh

So I have to go see my doc today at 1:15.

I wasn't supposed to go in until next week... but, I've been having some pretty regular contractions since Tuesday evening, and have just been feeling a bit achy and crampy. Dr. Rolando gave me strict instructions to let him know if anything started to change... so I broke down and gave his assistant a call yesterday. They want to make sure that nothing is changing "down there," meaning that the contractions would be starting to work to soften and thin my cervix. It's so hard to know what is normal and what is not; the contractions I'm having could just be plain old Braxton Hicks and we're most likely just totally paranoid. But it's probably better not to take the chance. They definitely feel different than any I had been having, but I am 31 weeks - so who knows. Keep your fingers crossed for me that everything is still thick and closed!!
