How do I cope with preterm labor?

Coping With Pre-Term Labor

Pre-term labor is labor that occurs before the 37th week of pregnancy. Most of the time bedrest and plenty of fluids will help to halt pre-term labor. If labor starts to dilate and efface the cervix - drugs are given to relax the uterus. The main thing is to keep stress at bay - and relax. The number one goal in dealing with pre-term labor is keeping that baby inside for as long as possible. Follow doctor's orders and accept all the help you can with taking care of your household.
