A rough night

So last night (Saturday) I was hanging out at my in laws and I started having contractions. At first I didn't think too much of them but after about 20 they began to get alot more painful then any of the other contractions I have ever felt before. I started timing them thinking they were about 10 minutes apart but I was way off! They were 4-5 minutes apart and getting harder and harder. I timed them untill midnight and they stayed about 4-5 min apart until about 1 by this time I had had Brady take over timing them because they were getting so strong. And I began to get annoyed with timing them! Around 1 the started to get A LOT stronger and closer. They were down to 3 minutes apart and I couldn't talk through them anymore, and some even got me crying. After 20 minutes of watching this Brady couldn't handle anymore so he called the hospital to see if we should come in. They told us to wait another 40 minutes before we came in. We waited another hour and they stayed at 3 minutes apart and they continued to be very hard. I was done waiting by now. We went to the hospital and they hooked me up to the monitors and took a pee sample. They checked me and I was at dilated at a 1 still and 60% effaced. They monitored me for an hour and then checked me again. I hadn't progressed, thank goodness. But I did have a UTI and that is what was causing these contractions. They gave me a pain killer an a sleeping pill and an antibiotic and sent me home. I got home around 4 needless to say it was a long night.
