They came back and I got a ticket to the hospital
So we got home around 10pm last night and I watched a little TV and then went to bed. I kept waking up with contractions but around 3 am they got a lot stronger and were closer together. Not to get to personal but I also was having a little bleeding so I got a little scarred, I called the birth center and they told me to come in and be checked again. So I woke Dan up out of a dead sleep and told him we had to go back to the Hospital. We got to the hospital around 4 am and I was hooked up to the monitors again. I was contracting about every 2 to 4 minutes and they were starting to hurt. They checked my cervix again and I was now dilated to 1cm. Since my cervix had changed and I am preterm I got a first class ticket to the birth center and was admitted to a room. Because the baby is preterm I was given 2 doses of steroids 12 hours apart. The steroids are a big shot that is very painful, I did not like it at all but I know I had to do it. The steroids help the babies lungs develop. I also got more shots of medication to stop the contractions. I got an IV and was started on antibiotics. After a few hours things started to slow down and I was moved to the perinatal floor for observation.
