Took a trip to L&D last night

After swimming and doing some exercise with the yoga ball, I started having some pretty intense contractions. Started out 8-20 minutes apart and then by 10pm they were 4-5 minutes apart. I called the L&D nurse, and I was told to go in and get checked out. I did and was 2 cm dilated. They said they were contacting my OB, and as soon as they did, she came back saying, " He wants you to go home." The contractions slowed down but going home was not the news I wanted to hear. Contractions are still irregular but I needed a quick venting session😜😐
