Yay! I was allowed to go home! I am so relieved.
The fetal fibronectin test came back negative, which is great news. I was still registering more contractions than the doctor was happy with, even though I had recently taken my Procardia.
So, I was read the riot act by my nurse (who, by the way, was just the coolest nurse ever) about taking it easy, drinking water, taking my pills, and staying on the couch as much as possible. I'm not even allowed to go to the grocery store any more.
I was given two more shots of terbutaline, which made me really jittery and had my heart going all over again. I was also told to up my dosage of Procardia at home and take it every 6 hours, even if I didn't think I was having contractions.
I was there for about 3.5 hours. Thank goodness my awesome husband came and kept me company.

Like mother like daughter, I have been there and done this. the first week is the hardest then you get kind of used to it. The worst for me was the tertubuline made it almost impossible to read books and I had to just watch TV and try not to nuts for 6 weeks.
