well heres the update on my friend's baby- they stopped all the contractions and she is still only a few centimeters dialated, so they are sending them home "for a short while". shes still really uncomfortable because of the fluid and the baby still isnt swallowing, so i guess the drs said she will likely be back in the hospital in preterm labor again in no more than days. i guess they will just keep trying to hold off on delivering the baby as many days as possible. i know its still a crucial point in development of lungs and all, so a few days will probably make a big difference.
