scared

So I had to go to the hospital yesterday and they told me my placenta has moved so I could have my daughter normally which is good. but they also told me that I'm having contractions this early and I'm only 24 weeks I might not even make it to my 40 weeks. which is okay I understand some people go into labor before their 40 weeks but they're saying mine might be around 36 37 weeks.

well thjusts my third pregnancy. I have already been hospitalized about 4 Or 5  times And it just scares me. at my 20 week check up they Found out I had complete placenta plavira but when I was at hospital yesterday they said I no longer do which im happy for. But the doctors done said they would only be able to stop my labor once during this pregnancy unless my water breaks so I hoping my little girl waits. I live in SC and will be delivering at Lexington memorial which one of the best hospitals in this state I just can't imagine seeing my baby in an incubator if I go into full blown labor before 36 weeks

I went in to labour early and I they coyldnt stop mine because in 2011 I was 23weeks when I went into labour but my waters went at 12weeks because I'm a carrier of having group b strep that's what coursed me to go in to labour early and with my daughter in November 2013 I went into labour at 21+6days everything was great threw my pregnancy I wasn't expecting me to deliver early especially at 21weeks and 6days but my waters didn't brake that time but when the doctor told me I had group b strep again they said they would only give me antibiotics during labour later but it was to late I was already 4cm dilated so they coyldnt do ant thing but even then they couldnt stop it because of how small my daughter was I miss her but I've got to think of my baby inside me and try not to think negative and hun they should be able to stop your labour because your 24weeks they can give you steroids for baby's lungs and stop the labour completely and they might keep you in or put you on bed rest back at home think positive as much as you can hun good luck everything will be ok

Don't be worried! My sister in law had contractions from 19 weeks on. They ended up inducing her a few days before her due date. Many women have contractions early in pregnancy. Not saying you won't go that early, but it's very possible to go the full 40 weeks :)
