So yesterday I spent the day in the hospital for contractions at 35 weeks exactly. They checked the contractions and they kept getting stronger and closer. They checked dilation and i was 3 cm dilated! For the next TWELVE hours, I stayed at the same dilation, but they told me I was 90% effaced! They injected a steroid to help him with last minute lung development, as they weren't going to stop him from delivery if he felt ready. Towards the end of this visit, they gave me something to stop contractions due to not dilating any further and discharged me. They had me go back this morning for the next steroid injection, and expect him to still come early! They checked me today and said the cervix still looks like 3 cm and 90% but I have still been having contractions.. How much longer do you ladies think?
