In the hospital

WELL... my due date is October 21 but with the back to back contractions I’m having I don’t think I’ll make it to the 21. I started having them 3-4 minutes apart for the past hour. They won’t go away. I was offered the shot to stop contractions but I’m not happy with the side affects it can give me. Pray for me and my son... I’m trying to relax but nervous and don’t know what to expect at this point. It’s just a waiting game to see if they go away... I’m tired ..
