went to ER. having mild contractions at 35wks

So my hubby took me to the ER. I'm 1cm dilated and 80% effaced.  They sent me home tho since the contractions were mild.  Said if they get worse to come back. Shouldn't they have gave me something to stop labor tho?  I'm a ftm btw

if ur 35weeks usually they stop with contractions pills. or a shot because 35 weeks is early but then again u barely 35 s
and its gonna take u awhile to dilate any further because ur a first time mom. I'm sure you will be fine.

Just read your previous posts, you're a day behind me. My midwife told me that if I was to go into labour 34 weeks or after they wouldn't stop it but I'd have to birth in the hospital (since I'm planning a home water birth I can only do that if I make it to 37 weeks) not sure if it's the same for you though.
