Dr. ordered bed rest

Well,,, I'm on bedrest thru tomorrow. It all started yesterday, when I got up around 7am, I got in the shower and started noticing pain in my lower abdomen. I thought absolutely nothing of it. However 2 hrs later while I was at work, it only got worse. It felt like really bad menstrual cramps. I called my Dr. They told me to drink two big glasses of water (dehydration seems to play a big role in preterm contractions) and go home and lie down for two hours. If at the end of the two hours, the pain in still there to give them a call back. Well, two hours passed and the pain was still there. I called the Dr. office and they told me to come in. Turns out, I was (still am) having contractions that average anywhere between 5-20 minutes apart. Dr. Ramey told me if they get to be 5 minutes apart for 1 hr straight that I need to go to the Labor and delivery depart. at the hospital. I was in bed all day yesterday and all day today and its not helping. One good thing is the pain isnt getting worse but its also not getting any better which is concerning to Bill and I. We paln to call the Dr. first thing in the morning to see if he will suggest something else.... Im not real sure what to think at this point. Wish me luck, or better yet, text me, call me, send me an email, leave me a message here or something, Ill be here,, sitting in bed! :)
