Hey everyone,
Dogmom here....33 1/2 weeks pregnant. My little girl tried to make a break for it this past weekend. I was hospitalized for 2 days and was put on a magnesium sulfate IV to stop contractions. I was discharged and am on an oral medication to stop contractions. My doctor has ordered me to stay on two weeks bed rest, then my daughter is free to come out (at 35 weeks). When I went to my doctors appointment yesterday he discovered that her head has dropped in the past few days, I am effaced, but my cervix is still closed. According to the sonogram she weighs 4 lbs 10 ounces....not too bad for 33 1/2 weeks.
My pregnancy up until this point was pretty good. I had very little problems and I was stunned to find out that I was having preterm labor.
Has anyone ever delivered a pre mature baby before?

hi - i had premature twins in 2003 at 23 weeks. granted that is extrememly premature -considered a micropreemie. one of my little ones was stillborn, and my survivor is now a healthy completely normal 5 year old. she weighed 1.5 lb at birth, so i would imagine your daughter coming anytime soon will turn out just fine if there are no other problems with her or the pregnancy. also keep in mind that girls do better than boys when born early, not sure why, but that is what my daughters neonatologist said. good luck and i hope she waits a bit before her arrival!

Thank you lisajanelle,
I have made it through my first week of bed rest and so far so good. I am taking this day by day.
