I went into labor with my twins at 33 weeks. Nothing they tried would stop the contractions. I had them via emergency c section at 33 weeks and 5 days. Luckily, they had managed to keep them inside long enough for the steroid shots to get their lungs mature, although i got a really bad uterine infection from being dialated and leaking fluid for 5 days. I almost died, but they were extremely healthy and only spent 8 days in the hospital. 4 lb 6.6 oz and 4 lb 8.5 oz. Good weight for a single at that stage, much less twins! My first was only 5 lb 9.5 oz at full term and my last was 6 lb 14 oz. I have small babies! Now pregnant with #5!

My waters broke spontaneously at 34+4 with my first. No warning - no pains, no pressure, no contractions... Nothing! Waters broke and 2hrs later contractions started, 6hrs later my son was born 4lb 7oz, small but perfect. 25 day stay in special care to learn how to feed but today he's a perfectly happy healthy toddler! I'm currently 34+3 with baby #2, was having regular tightenings at 33+6 so they gave me steroids in case I delivered. Given my history they treated it as preterm labour, fortunately nothing progressed and I was released after 48hrs..and I'm still holding on. Fingers crossed he'll stay put a little longer.

I went to l&d at 28 weeks because I had sharp pain and really bad back pain and I found out I had  
(polyhdremisis  ) that's when there is a lot of amniotic fluid surrounding the baby , I went straight to have a (amniocentisis ) that when they stick a needle in your stomach to take out some of the fluid then I had to stay for 5 days in the hospital . I was discharged and on bed rest and medication to stop the contractions , 4 weeks later (32 weeks pregnant ) I went to l&d again I was in really bad pain but this time I was in labor !!!!!
4 hours later i gave birth to my little princess weighing 3 pounds 1 1/2 oz , she stayed in the NICU for 3 months and then I finally got to take her home , that was the happiest day of my life she was finally in my hands without wires and machines all around her !!!!
She is now almost 3 years old and is a really active toodler .
Now I'm 27 weeks pregnant with a little boy .
Good luck to you all

I went into preterm labor at 24 weeks. This was my third pregnancy. It felt like someone was gripping my stomach and twisting it along with lower back pain waves that would 30-60 seconds. It felt kinda like gut cramps too. I laid down and it kept happening so I went in. They ended up having to give me a shot to stop the contractions (NOT a fun shot but it worked!) Thankfully I am still carrying her at 33 weeks! It's better to have them send you home as a false alarm then to brave it out imo!

Yes I went into a Very Early Labor! I had my daughter at 26 weeks. She weighed 1lb 14OZ. She is a true miracle and my angel sent from above. Thank god she is as healthy as can be and has no major health issues besides asthma which is common in preemies. She is now 6 and is doing wonderful. Doctors never knew why my water broke so early! I now expecting again and am considered High risk due to having her early. So every new week and new month is a milestone for me and im praying and hoping for a healthy and close to term pregnancy as possible! Glad to share with you. Good luck with all!
