Please pray that it doesn't happen

So I started having some strong braxton hicks last night. They were coming every 10 minutes. I didn't call the Dr. I drank A LOT of water and took a warm bath then went to sleep. It took forever, but finally sweet relief.

I've had a few on and off again today and again tonight. That's why I am up at 2am.

I had preterm labor with DD but it started at 32 weeks. This time if I have to go to the hospital it means a lot more stress. I can't do bedrest this time- i have a 9 month old! I have no family and a few friends in Cincy but they all work full time. Even if I went to Louisville everyone works full time. My oldest brother isn't married but just started a job last week and my other brother lives in PA with his wife and two kids one of whom is in preschool, so they couldn't help. DH works and is our sole provider and I will need him when the baby comes, so I can't have him taking off for something like bedrest or preterm labor.

So please pray that these go away and we can keep me off bedrest. The ONLY option is calling my aunt in Floriday that doesn't work. We are close, but not as close as we were. She hated DH's family. She thinks they are rude and stuck up and look down on him marrying me. It couldn't be further from the truth, but she isn't used to his family, or their joking, or the British in general.

Anyway, if it comes down to bedrest or whatever she is my only hope for help.

So please say a prayer to the uterus gods that these braxton hicks go away and I don't have preterm labor. Thanks!
