My world on bedrest

I was afraid this day would come but I so hoped it wouldn't. I seem to hit a point in all my pregnancies that I start contracting way too soon. That day has come again. I started getting uncomfortable on Sunday. By Sunday evening I had to call my midwife for advice. After finishing all the cramp bark I had they finally stopped. Monday I rested all morning and then took a shower in the afternoon. About an hour later after sitting on the couch for a little while they were back again. A wine cooler and a hot bath helped. Tuesday and Wednesday I spent in bed. I hate it. It really stresses my family. I am trying to research what could cause this. I am trying to eat more protein and watch my diet more closely. I really want to be up and part of my family. This seems really hard at this time of year. I keep telling myself it would be worse if the baby comes early and I have to spend the holidays at the hospital. T was born at the end of 31 weeks and I am at 31 1/2 weeks so that makes me even more nervous. Lord please help this baby stay where he needs to be until he is healthy enough to be born.
