question
i am 33 weeks + 4 days today, and having regular contractions, had an appointment today with my provider, she said my cervix has started dilating and reduced to 1 cm, asked me to take rest for 10 days and then i can deliver anytime. it scared the hell out of me, what causes preterm labour? And i have read 37 to 38 weeks is usually full term..how come i can deliver by 36 weeks..i just hope for all things to be fine for my baby..

Dr. Dhanya, that's a big relief knowing you also delivered at 36 weeks, i just pray for the baby to come out as healthy as possible.
