Maybe your Mom staying with you is actually causing you more stress than you think...I'd definitely consider the possibility and try to think about some solutions.

its definitely not the impending arrival as she is even more excited about it than most of us, it may however be due to returning to school tomorrow...not sure but its really getting to me. trying to relax i know my mother who has also been staying here to help out has not exactly been doing such as the kids get whatever they want and she often undermines my rules. I have asked her to leave and she acts like a child about it, i'm sure she refuses to leave because I have better living conditions than she does.

I ended up developing really bad anxiety in my third tri, and the stress made contractions increase. Yoga helped me a ton, I pretty much lived in down dog for several weeks! Hang in there!

Do you think she is acting up more due to her being jealous of the baby's arrival and she's striving for attention. Just an idea.

You need to walk away from the situation and let your husband deal with her when it gets to that point, also sit her down and have a really good talk to her about it. Even work out a really good prize chart for her anything for you to avoid stress, I know if can be really tough this situation, watching what they eat their behaviour etc but you really need to take a step back so you don't go into early labour due to stress specially if your high risk.
Take Care sweetie.

Stress can lead to contractions....especially constant stress. Every time I would become stressed, I noticed my contractions get more intense and worse. I started preterm labor at 20 weeks, was hospitalized for frequent contractions 5 times until I was 34 weeks and ended up delivering two days before my due date (go figure!)....but each time the nurses would ask me how much stress I was under and if there was emotional/physical abuse in my household. There wasnt.....my pregnancy was just extremely stressful with bleeding from a subchorionic hematoma and it was taking a toll on me having to constantly run to the doctor....missing a lot of work....that was really stressful. So.....yes, stress does play a role in contractions.
Please drink at least 60-80oz of water daily.....this helps keep the uterus well hydrated and can combat the more intense contractions.
