Unexpected ultrasound tomorrow

Long story short, I have been having some bad cramps since yesterday. They got worse today and were actually starting to get painful. With my past history of multiple miscarriages, I was getting scared. I called the midwife on call and she had me come in to get checked out. The baby's heartbeat was nice and strong. She checked me and said she did not see any blood and my cervix was tight and closed. Not really sure the cause of the cramps, although she did not seem overly concerned about them. But since that really did not reassure me and she knows my past history, I am going to have a quick ultrasound tomorrow just to be sure everything looks fine (the ultrasound tech was already gone for the day or I would have had one right then).

So right now I am supposed to be drinking LOTS of water and staying off my feet as much as possible (which is pretty impossible with a 2 yr old!).

I'm sure everything is just fine, but it still scares me.
