Premature labor at 31 weeks.

Hi guys!!! This is my 3rd baby. #1 was born at 35 weeks and was 9 lbs 8 ounces. #2 was born at 36 weeks and 5 days and weighed 8 lbs 9 ounces. Neither required any time in the NICU.

With this pregnancy I was 1st admitted for premature labor at 28 weeks. According to ultrasound he was weighing more than average at this point, about 3 1/2 lbs. They gave me 48 hrs of IV mag and slowed contractions to about every 16 mins. I got the 2 steroid shots and went home after a weeks stay. I'm now 31 weeks and was admitted again three days ago.

I'm just wondering what other mothers experience was if they had baby around 31 weeks?? What was baby's condition like? What did they look like? I'm just trying to prepare myself.
