So here I sit in L&D at 33w4d

On Sunday I started having period like cramps, a low backache but it was nothing I couldnt handle. By midnight I just wasnt feeling...right. I pushed it off some more and then decided it would be best to just call L&D and see if they want me to come in. My OB, who is 1.5 hours from me, said that if anything were to happen before 34 weeks to just go to the nearest hospital since they would have to transfer me anyways. I went in to find out I was having ocntractions 3-4 minutes apart, some would leave me with a breathless feeling, some I would feel, and some I wouldnt. I was given a shot or Terbutiline and it slowed them some but they kicked back up. I ended up being airlifted to a bigger hospital and have been here since Monday morning. They were able to get two betamethazone shots on board so that is a plus if anything were to happen.
They were giving me Procardia every six hours and on Tuesday morning I was checked. I was closed and thick then. I met with a NICU NP and went over all of my questions, the possiblities of what could happen, etc. I was at ease with that meeting. At that point I was still feeling some contractions and it basically has been like what was going on when I went into L&D, feel some, shortness of breath with some, and no pain with the others.
When the MFMs did their rounds this morning I was checked again and am sitting at 2cm dilated, and 40% effaced. I know that could mean something but it could also mean nothing as well. They decided that it would be best to stop the Procardia since it wasnt doing much to being with. I am wondering if anyone has been in this situation before? Outcome?

Thanks ladies. I intro'd over here about a month ago, maybe a little more and the twins had a pretty big growth discordance. That issue is still present and as of monday baby A was 5lb6oz and baby B was 3lb14oz. They believe that this is due to a cord insertion problem and has nothing to do with my diet which if it was, I didnt know how to get in any more meals as I was/am eating every two hours.
I will keep everyone updated and I should be meeting with the MFMs here in about an hour.
Every day, every hour they keep those babies in is an accomplishment. I hope those babies stay in longer, but if not, we are all here for you!
@direy25 They basically said the same thing as yesterday, that we will reevaluate on Monday but now I am back to having period like, low lying cramps and a low backache. They have given me Tylenol and now a heating pad to try but nothing is helping. Its not a bladder issue so they may have to call them back to check things out.
