I guess I should have stated that this is my 3rd pregnancy. My first two ended in miscarriage, at 18 and 5 weeks. With the 18 weeker, I actually went into labor and delivered my son. They were unable to determine a cause for that loss. I was on bedrest for a month and a half with this pregnancy for real contractions probably due to the infections I've had. With this pregnancy I have also experienced Braxton Hicks contractions which are nothing like the ripping pains I am experiencing now.

Tried, her voice mail is full. I know to go into L&D if anything gets worse, and if all else fails, my next appt is Friday.

Thank you for your input. >
