Hi,

I am 30 wks and a few days and have been flown out to Townsville hospital from Mt Isa as I presented with 3-5 min contractions and pains (had been regular for an hour). The swabs in Mt Isa turned instantly dk blue for waters but I have not had a gush and doctor here seems to think waters have not broken.

The contractions stay subdued until it's time for new medication and they begin again until the next lot of medicine kicks in (little pink pill is all I know)...so what's the likelyhood of them stopping all together? or am I going to have this baby much sooner than expected???

I've been given the steroids and was given a pethadine shot last night when I first presented to slow labour also and kill pain (even though I didn't need the painkiller).

Bub is fine, veryactive and heart rate is good, is head down but laying with back against my right hip. Fluid levels are good round bub and scan revealed no abnormalities that have been told about.

What's the chances of going to full term still???

Cheers
Lisa
