Closer Yet!

Ea started having contractions this morning! They were 2 to 3 minutes apart. Off to the hospital they went. Mom and I soon followed. Here's how it went:
Back contractions that they couldn't monitor. 2 cm dilated. Baby was still high.( Jesse thinks they thought she was nuts)
Then they took her off the monitor.
Then they put her back on the monitor. Good contractions! 2 to 3 minutes apart.
They let her go like that for a while.
Then they checked her again. Not much change. The baby dropped farther but that's about it.
Then the doctor decided that they would stop the labor and send her home. They came in and gave her a shot to stop the contractions. The shot made her feel like crap! The contractions got erratic and then got harder. They were still 2 to 3 minutes apart! The shot didn't work so they let her go for a while. ea said they just pissed her uterus off! LOL
Then they checked her again. The baby dropped more but still no change in the cervix. So the doctor decided to send her home! What????? She was still having contractions. Still 3 minutes apart. Still pretty hard! The nurses told her that they would see her tonight! I still don't understand why they didn't keep her.
That baby will be here soon!
