33 weeks 5 days: Labor and delivery visit #2

Just around midnight I woke up to some super strong contractions. When tracked they turned out to be 3-5 minutes apart and the strongest I have had to date. After attempting to give more fluids and medicine, we were sent back downstairs to the labor and delivery area. This is where we started at last Friday. Thankfully, I wasn't dilating and my water was still in tact. If either of those two things change, I will almost surely be headed for the OR. Instead we spent several hours getting monitored and eventually we were sent back upstairs. It made for a very long night - but we are thankful to get just a couple more days before these little ones arrive - the longer the better. The maternal fetal doctor on call mentioned that this will likely happen several more times before 'the real thing'. When having multiples, apparently your body gets into these spells of contractions and with some time they subside.
