I almost whent into labor at 26weeks because i had that. Took the meds and at my next app (35weeks) i will be tested again if positive she said i will get an iv with med during delivery I'm not to worried since after the meds my contractions stoped. One tip drink lots of water. Good luck:)

I was positive with my firstborn, and I didn't have to take anything for it until I was in labor and even then it was just in my iv. Baby and I were both completely fine.
