I will pray for your baby and you, and not only that I personally know a lady that had her baby girl at 23 weeks and it wasnt easy but now shes a happy 8 month baby girl (4 months adjusted) luckily my dr doesn't do epidural on his patients he prefers iv med

Ohh well hopefully she does stay in for a while longer. If not she's clearly desperate to meet the world lol(: everything will be ok though leave everything up to the man upstairs, if you're religious.. Just try not to stress to much about it, even though it's hard not to. If it happens that she comes early then it was just meant to happen, I'm sure the doctors and nurses will take care of her. Keep us posted on whether or not she comes. Id love to hear the birth story of a new angel in this world!

I was the same premature labour at 22week and 25...
I'd an emergency section at 33weeks.
Baby was in nicu and then first few months were infections hospital etc... but she's a fine five year old now :) you'll be fine..

The doctors told me since I went into preterm labor and they stopped it at 28 weeks that once I hit 34 weeks they refuse to stop it again. Said its not safe for me or baby to be on the meds that long.....next week is my 34th week. I've been on these meds for 5 weeks and already got the 2 steroid shots. I want her. To stay in trust me!

Exactly what bbparker said. Why so soon? Full term isn't til 37 wk.. I'm sure you'll be fine either way but keep that baby in there as long as possible. Our bodies are meant to give birth (:

Any day now? Term isn't until 37weeks! Where im from they will try to stop your labor before then. Keep that baby cooking mama!! Breath thru your pain, I was 15 when I pushed out my first and I did just fine. Try using focal points.
