Hi Lisa,
Sorry to hear you have had a scare. I have a really positive experience to tell you.

I went into pre term labor at 32weeks, contraction 3-5 mins apart for an hour or so after them being irregular. I Tested positive for the Fetal Fibronectin test, that gave me a 2 in 3 chance of having my DS in the next 2 weeks. I was kept in hospital for a few days, got given the steriod shots and was on nephatimine (sp?) which sounds like the pills you were given. Anyhow because I live only 5 minutes from the hospital they let me go home before 37 weeks, aparently the only reason. Anyway I was very worried about giving birth to him before 37 weeks. I posted a similiar thread as this one, really concerned. Alan told me that he had known on 1 women to make it to full term (37+) weeks after testing positive to the same test, and I made it to 38+5 weeks.

But like Sherie said, sometimes it stops for good, but sometimes the drugs only slow it down long enough for the steroids to work, then bubs comes anyhow.

I hope my story has helped to reassure you that your bubba might hang out a little longer. Fingers crossed for you.

Just try to get as much rest as possible.

Good luck hun.... How are you feeling now? Have you had any more concractions since leaving the hospital?
