28 weeks 3 days w/Twins, at hospital trying to stop premature labor!!

Melinda • I'm a 29 yr old, & engaged, I had B/G twins born 7/30/15 @ 33 wks. I also have a son 8 & daughter 6 yrs old ❤️
It's been very stressful & emotional couple of days, woke up yesterday morning at 7:30am. Felt some pains in my stomach around my uterus, sides, & back. Went to the bathroom hoping I just had to poop or something, which I did but pains were still there & getting worse. So I woke up my fiancé & my kids, & called the doctor, she said to come to labor & delivery to be checked out just to be safe. Everything seemed fine on the monitors, & it wasn't picking up contractions. The pain I was feeling was every few minutes & getting worse, she checked me & my cervix was closed. So a couple hours later as was gonna let me go home, but wanted to check me one more time, by then I was 1 1/2-2cm dilated. So she called for a amabulance transfer to bring me to the bigger hospital 45 mins away. They gave me a shot of steroids for the babies lungs, & medicine to try to stop labor, they kept me on the monitors all day & did a ultrasound. Both babies are weighing about 2 1/2 lbs. baby A has marginal cord insertion, but everything is looking good. They found that baby B-boys umbilical cord is not pumping the amount of blood back quick as it should, & he's a little smaller than her by a little. They said it's nothing to worry about, & their both head down. I 
haven't dilated anymore & haven't had anymore contractions since. They gave me another shot of steroids today, & giving me the meds evey 6 hrs to stop labor. If it continues to go good I could go home sometime tomorrow on strict Bedrest. Praying my babies don't come too early, hoping we can go home & make it to at least 34-36 weeks!!
