Terbutaline stopped. In early labor?

posted 7th Nov
i stopped my terbutaline pump thursday morning but i am still monitoring my contractions on the machine. i had 7 long ones with several shorter ones this morning. anyways, since early this morning, each contraction i feel is starting to hurt now (like bad menstrual cramps). the nurse at the monitoring place said it sounds like i could be in early labor. (my doctor said that i would most likely deliver within a few days to a week after stopping the terbutaline). anyways, the nurse wants me to get up and walk around, change positions and drink a lot of water to see if it helps and take a benadryl if i want to try to take a nap. then they will re-evaluate the situation after my evening monitoring. of course if they get worse, call my doctor... my question for ladies who were on terbutaline or not: does this sound similar to how your labor started? this is my first, so i have nooooo clue! hope this post makes sense.... not feelin so comfy right now.

UPDATE:
it's 1 pm now and i'm honestly not feeling any better. i've been up and about like the nurse said, made brunch, washed a couple of dishes and have drank a bunch of water. contractions seem to be about 6-7 minutes apart, but they have a bit more intensity.

i would go in just because things could move really quickly since you have been in preterm labor...i didnt have this happen with me but I felt horrible the whole day before she was born and my water broke in the middle of the night and she was born less than 4 hours later
