Hi - I'm 38+4 - I've been having contractions on and off for at least two weeks (sometimes very mild - sometimes strong enough to make me have to stop what I'm doing completely). Yesterday I had to go to hospital and they did a heart trace on baby because of raised BP throughout the pregnancy (it was fine) - during it the MW said 'you're contracting aren't you? I think you may be in the early stages of labour'.. I said 'I've had this everyday for weeks'. I came home last night and had the biggest nesting urge ever (cleaned under bed etc). Then went to bed with fairly painful period pain type contractions. I slept but still have them now (but very mild). Thing is I want to go and see my parents today who live 80 miles away (My dad has a serious illness). With DD (now 3) one minute I wasn't in labour, then I was. I don't know what to do in this situation, stay home, go to parents'.....any advice? Thanks - sorry for rambling on..
