I'm a better safe than sorry, worrier type person. If it were me, I'd either call my old doctor or go to labor and delivery to have them check me out. And the only reason I say this is that with my first pregnancy I was crampy (thought it was part of being pg) at 34 weeks. Doctor wanted ultrasound because I was measuring a bit small. Well, when I went to L&D for ultrasound, they found that I was in labor (with cervical changes and everything). They got it stopped, but I was worried there for a while. With this pregnancy, everytime I feel crampy, I drink juice and go to bed. Told you I was a worrier! Take care and keep us posted please...
