Just thought I'd post an update - have had an email from my brother this morning saying that the contractions have almost stopped (they were every 2-3 minutes when SIL was admitted to hospital!), and the test they did for 'fetal fibronectin' was negative, so apparently it's unlikely that she will give birth in the next two weeks. It's great news! She's staying in hospital for another two days, and then will be on medication and bed rest for the next two weeks. I feel very relieved that he'll probably stay inside for another two weeks, so most likely won't be born before 35 weeks.
Thanks for all your kind thoughts and words of support.
