In the hospital
Nothing much is tmi for me, but here is the requisite tmi warning for anyone who needs it.
I woke up this morning with a lot of blood-tinged discharge. I'm pretty sure I passed my mucous plug. I know it can regenerate but 30 weeks seems early for that. I called my ob's office since they told me that if I ever had bleeding to come in and call on the way. I wasn't sure if this counted since it wasn't just straight blood. The nurse asked me if I was cramping (no) and just told me that the plug can have blood in it, and if I wanted to come in I could. I told her this didn't seem normal so I wanted to come in. I think she thought I was overreacting.
It turns out I am 1-2 cm dilated and baby a is very low. The OB sent me over to the hospital because she was concerned that I was contracting but didn't know it. Turns out I was contracting about every 5-6 minutes. I got my first steroid shot along with terbutaline to stop the contractions, which worked very well. Babies did well on their NSTs. They are keeping me overnight simply because I couldn't tell I was contracting and the OB is afraid I will contract at home and not know it. I need the second steroid shot tomorrow anyway. So here I am. I hope I can go home tomorrow but am now overly sensitive to anything going on in my uterus, wondering if it's a contraction. Gah.
I gave the babies a talking-to about their behavior, but maybe it's my uterus that needs to be reprimanded. 
fx they stay put a while longer.
