I had pre-term labor at 26 weeks, I am now 32 weeks and I am doing fine. If you are really having pre-term labor on of the symptoms are contraction more than 4 in an hour, your water breaking or vaginal bleeding. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks, they had me on magnesium sulfite, demerol, staydol, nubain, steroids to mature my daughters lungs, and antibiotics. They also gave my lots of fluids and put me on bedrest. My baby is healthy and most likely has no idea what was happening. At 28 your baby has a 30% chance of survival at 30 weeks he chance jumps to 90%. If you think that you are truley having pre-term labor get to the doctors! Most likely your baby will be fine.

my son was born at 28wks, then my other son at 32wks, and now my daughter was just born at 34 wks. Yes your baby will be fine, but there are always problems that can occur.. Try to get as far along as possible.. For every one day inside you is 2 days out here..
