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..
