Preterm Labor Symptoms? Help!

[IsSillyGrl]

Posted this under a different title and got no luck. Really any advice would be appreciated:

Hello all! I am currently 33w4d pregnant with my 4th child. My first was born 2 weeks after dd, my second 1 week after dd and my third induced 3 days before my dd. With this one I have been having preterm labor symptoms for 2 months already! They have gotten particularly bad in the past week. STRONG braxton hicks, I am 2 cm dilated AND at my last dr apt I origionally tested positive for leaking ambilical fluid. After 3 additional tests and a sonogram they decided that I wasn't leaking and sent me home. I know that the chances of having a preemie after 3 full-term births are low, but does anyone have any experience with this? I feel like I am going CRAZY!

Does your doctor have you on Bedrest? I am on bedrest to keep these babies in, but sounds like you've been having issues and should be taking it easy. Did they give you medicine to help keep you from dialating?

She didn't mention anything about bed rest. I have been told in the past that I should be taking it easy, but my doctor understands that that is almost impossible when there are other young children running around (my youngest turns 2 on Tuesday). Also no meds. I must admit I am more than a little worried about it.

Just heard back from my Dr office regarding the fFN test. Apparently that came back negative! So, I guess I am in the clear for another week. But MAN! These symptoms are KILLING ME! I can't sleep, the contractions are pretty darn regular, I keep feeling like I am leaking, I know I am 2 cm dilated. I just don't know what to think. Also, my Strep B test came back positive for a second time! I tested positive about a month ago and completed a round and antibiotics. Isn't it a) strange that they re-tested and b) strange that I still have it after taking the meds?
