Another hospital visit

We ended up going to the hospital last night. It started about 3pm with cramping and mild contractions. and by 730 I had full contractions with shooting back pain and constant cramping. Was immediately hooked up to the monitor. Denver was fine. They then gave me a shot of something to stop the contractions. And called my DR. While the shot didn't completely stop them it lessened them a great deal. After about an hour they were mild and only lasting about 20 seconds. It seemed that every time Denver would move he would cause one. But I was still in a lot of pain from the cramping. Im thinking it was extra sore since it had been going on since 3pm and at this point it was 10 30pm. They decided to discharge me. I got some ambien to help me sleep and help calm denver down. They also gave me a perscription for pills of the same medicine I'd have in the shot earlier. I have to take it every 4 hours while awake, as long as my heart rate is under 120. So i've taken it once today. I am still very sore and might be having mild contractions. But am at home and resting. Trying to drink a lot of water, since I was a bit dehydrated yesterday which could have started the contractions. Nathan was with me all yesterday but is at work now. So I'm taking it easy waiting on him to be home.
