My update from L&D

well last night about 5:30 while walking in Orschlens with my hubby It all started.....CONTRACTIONS....not BH ones either real stop in your tracks contractions......they got to be about 5-6 minutes appart.....so when I got to the car I took one of my brethine meds......well after 30 minutes they weren't stopping so I called my OB office to ask how long it normally take for them to work and they told me they should have stopped by now if they were going to.......so they said for me to go to L & D.......so at 7:00 we checked into L&D and they put the monitors on me and checked my cervix and I was dialted to 1   UGGGHHHH I started freaking......but they assured me it was ok so after a while they were seeing more contractions so they gave me a double dose of brethine and that still wasn't stopping them it made them not so close but they were still coming so they hooked me a IV and gave me one bag really quick I had 3 more contractions after being hooked up the IV but after they got the whole bag into me and started another I was pretty much leveled out so the Dr let me go home about 1:00 AM........so now I have to take my 2.5mg brethine 2x a day for a week then work up to 5 mg 2x a day til the DR tells me to quit.  My next appt is the 19th so hopefully I'm not dialated anymore I'm hoping to keep these little ones in a bit longer.....


Question.....since I'm dialated now does that mean I did lose my mucus plug?

And just because you loss your mucus plug doesnt mean you will go in to labor. My sister lost hers', and didnt go into labor for while.....But everyOne is different
