According to my consultant I went into preterm labor last night.

My BH were stronger last night and my back was cramping. This morning I felt pressure and had 'the show'. My contractions were 4 minutes a part and 65 seconds long and 2cm dilated.

I'm only 29+6 so they've put me on magnesium which does seem to be working.

Good luck to you! :)

I had back pain before my waters broke and a show two weeks before that. I was 33 weeks. Good luck multi have you had steriods?

Thanks. It was expected with this complicated PG. They're hoping I can hold out to at least 33 weeks - I do too.

Hope you have a healthy baby :)

Thanks, Plenty. I'll be having the 1st shot after lunch.

That will help so much. I had mine at 26 weeks so if this one comes soon (which is very likely) it should help. Hope it all goes well.

I'm jealous! I'm 39 and have had nothing, no BH, bump not dropped, nada except for worse sciatica which has got so bad I can barely cross the apartment let alone leave the house! So bored.
