Back to L&D. Good update in OP

So today was my 2 week follow up from my pre-term labor admission. They did a cervical exam and the results are not what I wanted to hear. Still just 50% but I've progressed to 3cm dilation and my cervix has gone from 1.5 cm to .4cm in length. They told me to go straight upstairs to L&D (my Dr office is IN the hospital). they wouldn't even let me go home and grab a bag of necessities first. My DH left yesterday and will be gone for 10 days. And my mom (aka back-up plan) left for NYC on Wednesday and won't be back until next Friday.
I completely broke down in the Dr office. This is seriously not how I thought my check up would go. Just waiting to get checked in to L&D and see where to go from here.
Update: They are allowing me to go home on bed rest, I will take the Procardia from home for another 24hrs. I told hubs to hold off on coming home since everything has calmed down and I will be able to relax a lot more without DD running around and jumping all over me.
They only thing they said that I didn't like was that if I go into labor again they can't try to stop it a third time. They can only provide so many tocolytics and baby can't have anymore steroids. 8 more days until 34 weeks, which I'm being told is a big milestone, so that's my goal right now.
You ladies have been amazingly supportive, yet again, thank you all so much!

Oh no! I'm so sorry you're going through this. I would probably be terrified! Is there any way your husband or mom can come back earlier? Or is there someone else near you that you could ask to grab some things? Sending T&Ps your way!!!
Sending all the good juju your way!
Is there any chance your husband can be sent home early?
Keep us posted on what L&D says.
