A member asked:
Why do they hospitalize you and put you on bedrest for possible preterm labor when you could be resting at home?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Preterm labor: Bedrest doesn't prevent preterm labor in the hospital or at home. However, if the woman has advanced cervical dilatation, keeping her in the hospital ensures a safer delivery.
