Starting to Dilate at 33 Weeks

Alisha
So I'm 33+1 today and went in because I was having some cramping and just felt something was off. I've cramped since 24 weeks but this was a little more intense but I figured it was just me being parinoid because I wouldn't describe it as contractions. Well I am a fingertip dilated and 50% thinned. They gave me steroid shots (one today and then one tomorrow) to help the baby's lungs in case of an early delivery. I have to go back Tuesday and be checked again. Hoping and praying my little boy stays in till at least 36 weeks.
