No signs this morning though about 2 hours ago, the contractions started up again and have become [...]

Well, just like it looks like our baby is not going to be delivered on schedule, NASA says on their Return to Flight webpage:
Today’s Return to Flight launch of Space Shuttle Discovery has been postponed due to an issue with a low-level fuel cutoff sensor. The sensor protects an orbiter’s main engines [...]
