i need your opinion ladies , an NO im not trying to induce

so yesterday my mucus plug came out ... an then 30 minutes later i started to have contractions , i am 37 weeks pregnant ... this was at 11 , i waited for my husban to come home from work at 1pm , we went to the hospital to get checked out an yes i was having contractions but mild not hard ones but i was 3 cm dialted , they send me home , no meds , i was in pain all night , having stronger contractions... what should i do im home alone with my toddler .... im not trying to induce labor , i want the contractions to go away , i dont want my baby to be born sooner than my due date nov 5

Soak in a warm bath with Epsom salt. The magnesium in the Epsom salt will help calm the contractions, similar to the magnesium shots used to stop premature labor.
Also, drink lots of water.

This is by far the strangest post I've seen in awhile.
You can't make contractions go away. Due dates are estimates, and babies have minds of their own. I'd relax as long as you can but it sounds like early labor to me.

I'm assuming this would only work if it isn't real labor though.

Yep. Nothing can stop full blown labor.

I don't know.. mag. sul. stops or slows down real labor.. so it may actually work, depending on how long you soak in it.

Really sounds like early labor.

Try to take it easy and stay hydrated. If its labor, you wont be able to stop it, and I doubt your doctors would at this point either.

Do you have any Epsom salt? Try soaking your feet in it. It feels awesome and will absorb through the skin.
