OT: Do you know the signs of preterm labor??

[pyratwife]

 

 I thought I did... until my water broke at 21 weeks. I didn't know that could happen until it happened to me. I was put on bedrest and antibiotics. I spent 6 weeks in a hospital bed. DS was born at 27 weeks.. 2 lbs 3 oz 14 in. He is a healthy, smart, perfect 7 year old now. If I had ignored the leaking fluid... I don't want to think about life with out my wonderful son.

November is prematurity awareness month. Please pass this information on. It might save a baby's life. It saved mine.
