From preterm to full term?

[AngelesV]

My question is, has anyone ever been diagnosed with preterm labor and got the steroid shots and everything but ended up making it past 37 weeks. Which to some doctors is considered full term. If so what are your stories.

I had preterm labour at 34 weeks. I was cramping alot. They hooked me up to the IV fkr 2 hours to stop it. I am now almost 38 weeks

I'm in preterm labor now at 34 weeks. Not shots or anything and they aren't stopping her from coming.

The docs didn't think I would make it past 33-34 weeks

Well I went in at 32w 3d because I was feeling pressure down there. Turns out I had contractions snd they were 3 mins apart. I was 2cm dialated and 50% effaced. I got the shot to stop contractions & a steroid.  The next day I went in hrs after being released because I had contractions again and they were 2mins apart. I got another shot to stop them and the contractions.  Im still getting contractions im 33w 4d but my ob gave me pills to relax my uterus. I take one pill every 6 hrs. She told me today that im still at 2 & that if he comes after 34w (friday) they wont stop it. But im on bed rest but I have a feeling I wont make it to 35/36 weeks. But maybe hopefully I will.

Me!!! I went into pre term at 20 weeks with my son and hat the shots and was monitored closely for the rest of pregnancy. My son was bourn 39+2 witch where i am is considered 2 days past dew. They where gonna induce me if he hadn't have came when he did.

They said they wanted to keep me until a safer point in my pregnancy which was 32wks. I was having silent dialation. I was dialated to a 4 and 80% effaced and had no contractions or symptoms. And the day before I had my ultrasound I went in cause I thought I lost my mucus plug and asked my doc to check and she said I was still closed and hadnt lost it but she wanted me to go for an ultrasound where they discovered I had a short cervix. So that was bad too. Did u have preterm labor?

[AngelesV]

Oh okay. Why were you hospitalized for so long?

[nikkirilling]

I had preterm labor at 30wks and had no symptoms. They seen something wasn't right in my ultrasound and sent me in. I s hospitalized for almost 2 wks and had the shot and made it to 39wks and had a scheduled c section.
