When pre-term labor hits - a good majority of the time bed rest will halt it. Bed rest allows the uterus to relax and hopefully stop contracting. While on bed rest - in or out of the hospital - have lots of pillows - at your back and under your feet to ease the discomfort of laying around constantly. Do flexing excercises - of the feet, legs and arms. Lay primarily on your left side, to insure proper blood flow to the uterus.
