Preterm labor!

34 weeks and 3 days I wake up to contractions (non painful) 2 minutes apart lasting about 45 seconds apart. Contractions were progressing and I was dilated to 3 cm after 2 hours of monitoring.

They put me on a magnesium drip into my IV and antibiotics. Gave me steroid shots to improve baby girls lungs just Incase the magnesium doesn’t work.

Now we are waiting it out just got taken off of the magnesium and they want to monitor me for at least 6 hours to make sure contractions don’t come back!

What is everybody’s experience with magnesium? How long did it delay labor? Should I expect to go to full term now?
