Update:

The doctor said take Vicks 44 and if by the time it's time for a second dose the contractions haven't let up then go to L&D to get checked (6 hours). He thinks the coughing might be irritating my uterus because the contractions should have progressed by now, it's been almost 24 hours since the cramping started, so I should have gotten SOMEWHERE by now. If I go and there's no cervical change but the Vicks isn't helping then we'll talk prescription strength cough syrup.

Please let the Vicks work, I'm too sick to have a baby!
