:eek: So I am 34 weeks and I have gone into premature of false laborin my 32nd week and my 33rd week I went into actual labor and was stopped and pumped with steroids and then sent home after being monitored. I went for a check up today and my doc said I can go anytime from now until my due date Dec 20th and the baby is healthy and in the birth canal ready to come out. I guess my question is do you think she will come out anytime soon or wait all the way until my due date considering all the factors.?

Hun, only baby knows the answer to that question. At 34 weeks baby is viable, but not considered full term until 37 weeks, so try to hold him/her in as long as possible as lungs are not developed fully yet. You say you got steroids. Do you know if it was Betamethasone? That is the one that will help mature lung function in the baby.

Most likely, judging by the last few weeks, your babe will probably make an early appearance. Each day matters at this point and hopefully he/she will stay put for a little while longer. Good luck!
