I had cramping and went in immediately when I saw blood. My sister said "better to be safe than sorry" and I'm so glad I took that advice because I was slightly dilated and able to take a steroid shot to grow my baby's lungs in case he came early; which he did. He was on oxygen for months in NICU and months after discharge but he doesn't need it anymore and is doing so well. Praying you keep baby in to full term but also know that the medical field is excellent with premature babies these days if baby does come early. It will all be okay either way so stay as calm and relaxed as possible so you don't get adrenal fatigue where your body isn't functioning properly because of stress that way you do keep baby in as long as possible.

I was cleaning (nesting) a-lot then contractions started

I felt super tired but not really anything else. My water burst while I was sleeping

My waters broke but I thought that my labour might not even start. I was at the hospital at that time because they were observing me. I had a risk of a premature birth already. And then I kept on having contractions but at first they weren't that bad so I thought that they were Braxton kicks. I knew that I'll be in labour when I gave my printer sample and it had blood in it with some mucus. My contractions were getting stronger and soon enough I was wheeled into the operation room. It was happening really fast.
