concerned scaired worried doesnt even describe my emotional rollercoaster.

Today I m 32+1 at 31+6 I went into pre term labor. I received steroid shots 24 hours apart from each other to mature the lungs. Also.I was put on a magnesium drip for 12 hours. It only slowed my contractions. Then they put me on indisen(spelling?) Which I get every 6 hours.it stopped my contractions from 930pm last night to 245pm this evening I'm terrified!

It can be very scary I know, my 4 yr old was born at 28 weeks. 2pd 8oz and spent 5 weeks in the nicu. Try not to stress to much and omly think of the things you can control. I am 30 wks now and try to do the things i can control. It is scary and will be till you make to the end. Sorry for your struggle and I pray for delivery to be many many weeks away.
