Austynsmommy, I had a 32-weeker in my first pregnancy due to a placental abruption, so just as a precaution, my OB put me on weekly progesterone injections from about 16 to 35 weeks into my second pregnancy (I can't remember the exact weeks). I don't know if the prog. made the difference or not, but I didn't deliver until 37 weeks with my daugher. I didn't have to be induced, I went into labor naturally at that time. I had BH contractions from about 12 weeks on, and several trips to L & D with preterm labor scares (red spotting & too many BH's), so maybe the shots did help "hold everything in there". If nothing else, at least I felt like I was doing something proactive to help the situation.

Purecha - I think that's pretty normal to want to take it easy right now.

Good luck to you both!
