A member asked:
28 weeks and they said my cervix has shortened and prescribed me nifedipine to slow pre term labor. how concerned should i be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
PreTerm Labor: You should be very concerned. Concerned enough to follow every single piece of advice or instruction your OB gives you. It is way too soon for you to be delivering your baby.
