32+5 Preterm Labor
Hi ladies, I was in the hospital this weekend to stop labor. The magnesium successfully did it. When I left the hospital I was 3.5 cm dilated almost a 4. My doctor has me on bed rest until these little ones arrive. I received steroid shots this past weekend to help.
Ideally I would still like to make it to 34 weeks. Which is July 4th. Do you think it is possible? Any success stories staying dilated at this point in a twin pregnancy?

Our rainbows were born 07/19/13 (36w, 5d)
At 33w3d I found out I was 4cm and "stretchy". They kept me in the antepartum for 3 days but I hadn't been having contractions since being admitted so they sent me home on bed rest. I was so so sooooo good about being in bed, unfortunately I only made it another 24hrs at home before my water broke when I sat down to pee. Even though they were born at 33w6d they were fine. We spent 14 days in the NICU for them to grow and learn to eat but really it was much more comforting to have them on the outside being monitored 24/7 than on the inside wondering "what if".
I absolutely think anything is possible. I've seen ladies put on bedrest at 24w make it to 36w and beyond. Just find some little hobby to do to keep you busy. A lot of ladies knit or crochet for their LOs when they're on bedrest. Netflix is your friend too!
I will be fx you can keep those little beans cooking just a little while longer, but know that if they come early things will work out in the end. Just take a deep breath and take things one day at a time!
