The same contraction that wont go away....

[prayerful wife]

I have a quick question ladies...
I've been having contractions all day and the monitoring station called to let me know that my baby is having decreases and increases in his heart rate so they asked me to lay down for an hour.  His heart rate evened back out but the contractions never stopped even after I took the terbutaline.
I only get on the monitor twice a day for 2hours at a time.  They suggested today that I stay on for 6hours.  Now that I'm off my contractions are getting worse and my back is really hurting.
I had a contraction about 20mins ago and the tighting in my stomach hasnt let up.  I dont know if it's b/c my tummy is stretched to capasity or if the baby is in distress.  I've tried empyting my bladder, laying on my left side, drinking water, changing positions, and it's like a permanet cramp that wont go away.

What makes me nervous is I had my son at 30wks and today I hit 30wks with this pregnancy.  Am I over reacting or could this be preterm labor?  Thanks

OB just called back and told me to come in now.  He actually said he was just looking at my strips from the monitor today and he didnt like the fact that I was contracting more than 7xs an hour.  So I guess I'm on the way to L&D.  I pray nothing happens in the mean time b/c it's just too soon, and my shower is on the 19th.
Even when my son was born at 30wks they were able to give me the steriods in time enough to help tremendously b/c he only stayed in the hospital 9days before he was able to come home.
I'll keep you ladies updated.  My OB is going to meet me at the hospital by 8:30...so if not tonight I'll update you guys in the morning.  Thanks!
