a couple questions about preterm labor

The effectiveness of the treatment varies person to person, case to case. Here's hoping she and the baby stay safe!

I have had friends and family deliver even earlier than that, and the babies just require more time and care in the hospital than a full term infant. There's always more risk involved in preterm, but medicine has advanced so much now that they truly do work miracles! I don't know anything about the shots, though, I'm sorry. I will be praying for your sister and her little one!

With the technology they have today, I don't see a problem. Hey, I was born 56 years ago after 36 weeks (about 2 months early) and I've lived to tell about it.

thanks everyone! I went to see her tonight and she seems much better. She just has to hold off a few more weeks..

I think she will do just fine,There is pro's and con's to everything.A friend of mine deliverd at 28 weeks..Kenzie is still smaller being 5 years old but she had done amazing considering the months she spent in the hospital.

Prayers for a safe delivery!
