Ugh! What now?! 32 Weeks with mixed emotions

So I was having pretty bad contractions on Wednesday night/Thursday morning of last week. I ended up going to labor and delivery and the have ran every test possible to man to figure out why I’m contracting but not dilating!! So Thursday morning I got here at like 1am and I was stone cold 0 and not even dilated yet. Then I went to a 1/2cm Friday in the afternoon after like 5 cervical checks all day 😔😑. I started getting worried because I’m like it’s way too early to have my baby boy. Then that night they came in and checked and I was a full 1. So at this point I’m dilating super slow, cervix is still thick and I’m actually happy about it, although these contractions are kicking my butt! So Saturday I thought I was going home because Friday night my contractions had slowed down and weren’t as painful! WRONG- So Saturday morning I woke up and the contractions were full on strong and closer together. I really tried my best to act like I was fine because I was beyond ready to go home at this point. Smh They end up sending me back downstairs to labor and delivery and put me back on monitoring all night etc. Sunday, I do an MRI to see if previous c-section has scar tissues damage and if I could be at risk for it to rupture while contracting(test came back negative and everything was good along with every other test) All signs pointing to me not delivering my son so early. Doctors started telling me they at least want me to get to 36 weeks before we can do anything to take baby medically. So today is Monday and here I am back upstairs and pretty much have to stay here until they can figure out how to get this pain under control. Oh yeah, I had an epidural...but unfortunately that’s the only medicine that helps get rid of the pain!!! And they won’t give me another one because they said I am not having surgery and they can’t use that as a long term healing. So until they can figure out how to get my “IRRITATED UTERUS” under control as they called it...I’m stuck here at the hospital possibly for another 3 weeks and 5 days until I hit 36 weeks! I haven’t got good sleep in 4 days. I can’t even sneak a minute in of rest and Saturday and Sunday, they weren’t letting me eat! 💁🏽🤰🏽😤🙁 At least baby boy is still nice and cozy in mommy’s belly!
