If you went into preterm labor were they able to stop it?

Question

I'm 25 weeks 4 days and I'm having contractions and they've been giving me magnesium sulfate, betamethasone, and antibiotics all to prepare baby just in case/stop contractions.

Answer

I went into preterm labour at 23 weeks with my first child. They put me on bed rest in the hospital because one day I was 3 cm and the next I was back to 1 cm. Contractions came on the regular but stopped after a few hours so they were scared I could deliver at any moment. I stayed for 10 weeks in the hospital on bed rest and then was released and told to take it easy at home and stay on bed rest but it would be safe to deliver her. I ended up having her at 36 weeks 3 days! She was a very healthy baby at 7 pounds 10 Oz and a full head of hair! After I had her, I woke up and there were 3 Dr's surrounding her. I asked if everything was okay and they brought her to me and said 'look'. My dd was lifting her head up and turning over. She grabbed her so other and kept putting it in her mouth when it piped out. They said they were amazed lol. I think the steroid shots really did help her!

Answer

I went into preterm with my first and he was born 6 weeks early. Then with my 3rd I had a 400 # woman fall on me at work (I'm a nurse and was working ER at the time). I started contracting and they kept giving me terbutaline shots. A few weeks later (@ 28 weeks) I got put on modified bed rest.  At that little stinker didn't make her debut until 40 weeks.

Answer

I went into pre term labor with my first a month before my due date. I was hospitalized for 3 days they were able to stop it. Had my second two weeks early and now my doctors told me to keep my third in for another 4 weeks. I'm 32 weeks and 5 days pregnant.
