Call the service: One of the 1st things i would do is call the doc service and discuss your symptoms with them. If they decide you are in early labor or may have other complications they may bring you in for an exam and stress test.Call now, so you have the best chance of stopping labor it it's starting.They can decide what you should be doing.
