3cm dilated at 33 weeks

Hello mummies I was hospitalized at week 32 due to contractions. I was given steroids to aid baby’s lung development. I was 2cm dilated. Recent checkup shows that I’m have dilated to 3cm at 33 weeks. Baby weighs 2.4kg. I’m so worried of pre-term Labour. Anyone with similar experience and able to deliver nearer to full term?

2.4kg is not a bad weight, baby only has to stay in NICU if under 2kg typically. Preterm labor is not ideal but your baby will be fine especially since you already got the steroid jab, so don't stress too much :). I also got steroid jabs and delivered 2kg baby but she's now healthy and chubby at 1.5yo. All the best!
