Yesterday I started having consistent contractions, I thought they were just Braxtons but they were every 2 minutes and 30 seconds long and wouldn't go away! I went to the hospital and they said they were true contractions but I had to dilation, so they gave me meds to stop the contractions and steroids for her lungs to develop and I was kept over night to make sure the contractions had stopped. So far they have but they don't think for long. Always go in to be safe when you have stronger Contractions!
