Call the Ob-Gyn Dr.: A 29-week pregnant woman with a tummy that gets hard can call her Ob-Gyn doctor and go get re-examined at the doctor's office or at the hospital's labor and delivery ward. The doctor will be checking for preterm labor, which can lead to a preterm birth (and all the problems that come with premature babies). Preterm labor is serious, so it is important to be examined by an experienced physician.

Close follow up: Your FFN test was negative which is a great test predicting that 95% of those with a negative test will not labor in the weeks after the test. Your doctor will need to continue to monitor you. Steroids can be considered to accelerate fetal lung maturity. Your doctor may want to check your cervical length via ultrasound.
