Pre-term labor: 27 weeks

Mike received 4 tickets to the Wild Hockey game and I told him he better go with some buddies as I am not sure how many more nights he has out with the guys! My dad was staying with me and we went out for supper. I started to have some contractions but this happens occasionally so I wasn't worried. We got home and I started noticing that they were coming every ten minutes. I told my dad to keep writing down the time of each contractions and start giving me water. I drank about 4 mugs of water and after an 2 hours I called the on call doctor. She mentioned that I may be in labor and if I continue in the next hour to have them every 10 minutes to come into the hospital. I had a serious talk with the triplets and poor Mike was going out of his mind being away from me at the time. I had 2 more contractions within the 10 minute time frame and then 1 in 30 minutes. After that they went away. I ended up just resting and keeping myself hydrated. They figured I was dehydrated and it brought on preterm labor. Boy was that a close call.
