Preterm labor

Went into preterm labor, was having contractions that were 2 mins apart. Got all the way to 4.5cm and there was discussion of an epidural. Then it all stopped. Contractions went from every 2 mins to every 5 mins. I got sent home and contractions are now every 7 mins or so. Has anyone ever experienced this. Im 36 weeks and was so close to seeing my baby girl and im ready and now im home and told to go back to work and resume normal activity.
