preterm labor

Been having preterm labor and on procardia since week 25, was back in the er tonight because I lost my mucus plug and started contracting. They told me I was 1.5 cm dilated and 70% efaced. Just wondering how long other people stayed that dilated or if I should expect labor soon?

Oh & they sent me home on bed rest because of no change in 4 hours.

I was in labor for a month and a half before my due date. Thanks to the meds and bed rest they were able to keep my little man baking until 38 weeks! I was shocked but grateful! Make sure you do everything the DR's say and call or go to ER for any concerns, no matter how small. Good luck!!

Friends of mine had their son at 34wks due to her waters breaking and having contractions. Their boy only spent a week in the hosp and then got to go home. The longer baby stays inside the better but with every week, babys chances greatly improve! Good luck!!
