I am glad you told me about your story (not having any change and then it happening all of the sudden). Guess I was thinking I was in the clear now but I still have a ways to go and your story is a reminder of how unpredictable the whole thing can be. When I had the preterm labor previously I had noticed BH contractions but nothing that seemed excessive or regular - then I get checked and I am 1cm dilated and I start having regular, preterm labor 12 hours later. Surprised me.
