My son Alex was born at 33.4 weeks. I originally went into preterm labor at 32 weeks went to hospital, was told I was not dialated to go home take it easy. They had rehydrated me to stop contractions this worked for about a week then I went back into labor the same routine, this time my husband made me stay in bed. The next morning when I got up my water broke. we went to the hospital they admitted me. I still had no contractions by the next morning. They induced the labor and he was born weighing 4lbs 4oz. He did just fine wiht no complications and was sent home after 3 days in NICU for observation. He is now 3 years old and has a bit of a speech delay and myleopia other than that he is perfectly healthy
