Finally off bedrest

I will be 36 wks Thursday and my docs had been talking about taking me off of bedrest, and I can hopefully go back to work. Anyone been on rest due to preterm labor and how soon after did you deliver? I was dilated 1.5 and 60% effaced, contractions every 8 min at 27 weeks when I went into the hospital.

They had me on procardia (sp) which was to help stop the contractions. Is that what they put you on? I didnt have any the whole time I was on bedrest except BH and I am assuming its bc of the medication. So we will see now that I am off it if there is any activity.

I've been put on bedrest at 21 weeks with my last 3 pregnancies. I'm taking a new medication this time and we are hoping to avoid preterm labor and delivery.
