Q: Will labor be happening soon?

Ever since I was 31 weeks I've been in and out of the hospital with preterm contractions and preterm labor.
At 31 weeks I was having contractions every 2 minutes had to have a shot of terb to stop them and was dilated to a 1.

At 32 weeks I was having contractions every 2-3 minutes was dilated to a 2 and was admitted for 2 days with preterm labor had 4 shots of terb, stadol, and given magnesium along with steroid shots.

Now, at 35 weeks I was in the hospital yesterday having contractions every 3 minutes and now dilated to a 3. They are no longer giving me meds to stop labor so now it's just a waiting game.

All of my contractions have been more uncomfortable than anything but starting yesterday and today they are quite painful. Does it sound like labor will be happening soon?

Sounds like your body is gearing up for birth. I'm no doctor but given the pattern you describe, it sounds like you're close. Wishing you well.
