Contractions lasted all night long. they were 7 mins apart So Dr said to just come get checked in the morning. they did the strep b test and checked for dilation. I'm 1 cm dilated and 50 percent effaced. They put me on bed rest today so had to send my work an excuse slip. have another appt Friday to check if I've progressed any. they said if labor starts soon they wont stop it at this point.
