A visit to Labor and Delivery :(

Woke up this morning with shooting pains in my lower abdomen. Called the doctor and she said to go to L&D to be monitored. I was monitored for 4 hours! As soon as they put me on the monitor they saw regular small contractions (irritations, as they called them) about every 2 minutes. They ran some blood and urine labs and it turns out I have a trace of a bladder infection. They had to give me two shots of Tributilin to stop the contractions, IV fluids, and IV antibiotics. They gave me a prescription for antibiotics and sent me home. They told me to call my doctor if I have more than 4 contractions per hour. Glad it was nothing serious but, of course, I am freaked out anyway....
