I had a positive Partosure test which my hospital told me is 97% accurate and they transferred me to a hospital that has a specialist NICU just in case as I'm only 29 weeks tomorrow. I felt I was prepared that birth was likely, I'm having period type pains, lower back and leg ache and baby is very low down head down in pelvis. I arrived at this hospital last night who are a lot more blasé, saying it isn't even a test that they do here, known for being inaccurate etc nothings progressed in 3 days with my symptoms so they don't think birth is going to happen. I originally thought I'd had a fibronectin test and had read that they can be inaccurate so I relaxed a bit but then read up on Partosure and it seems to have a much higher accuracy and one of the trials I found online every person who had a positive result (albeit only 17 out of 341 women tested for a positive result, so it's a small sample size) but all of them had their baby within 14 days, 12 within 7 days. I tried to speak to the consultant who said he wasn't familiar with this test as they don't do it here but that they're all the same thing, again from what I'm reading this one isn't..
Obviously I hope they are right and baby hangs in there but I do want to be realistic?! Has anyone had any experience with this? Is it worth me taking it a bit more seriously and sorting out some premature baby bits, starting to get organised and having my husband do a hospital bag for the baby? Do I just take their word for it and relax? My heads all over the place
