34 weeks & signs of pre term labor @ 31 weeks. last week was 3.5cm dilated 25% effaced. got steroids at 31 weeks. belly is rock hard. concern?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Preterm labor: IF you are 34 weeks and already dilated to 3.5 cm then you are at very high risk for preterm labor. It sounds like your doctor is aware of this since you already got steroids for fetal lung maturity. If you are uncertain as to your plan of care please contact the doctor taking care of you for clarification and instructions on dealing with preterm labor.
