finally discharged

On Friday my Mucous Plug popped. So I went in today for a routine checkup and I told the Dr and they checked me. Indeed it ruptured I'm only 33 weeks. They said my cervix is closed by it is thinning. On top of that my heart rate was 134. They sent me to L&D and said that I was contracting a lot...what does this mean?

They didn't give me anything they were more concentrating on my heart rate. But then the contractions slowed down...I'm nervous because I am early but they said my cervix is closed

They haven't given you anything to stop your contractions. It's still early for you to be having them every 5 minutes that is premature labor. I had them every 10 minutes at 33 weeks and they started the shots to stop it before I began dilating.
