A full pregnancy normally last 40 weeks so 24 weeks is not a time to be in labor. If you are having any abdominal pain/cramping this could be very serious and you need to go to the doctor right away. A 24 week old baby would have very serious medical problems.
About 1-9% of women will experience premature labor after cerclage. About 10-30% of premature babies survive at 22 weeks, increasing to 50% at 24 weeks, and 95% by 26 weeks.
Betamethasone is not used IN preterm labor...once your labor has been stabilized, betamethasone is given in two shots 24 hours apart so that you baby gets a "jump start" on producing surfactant in their lungs. Surfactant is what gives the lungs lubrication - for the aveoli to expand. I had betamethasone injections with two of my children. My first child, I went into labor at 24 weeks; multiple medications to hold her to final delivery date of 31 weeks. No medical problems whatsoever!! My second child, I went into labor at 26 weeks , several shots of brethine to hold him off and delivered at 38 weeks (9pounds 1 oz) perfectly fine. My sister delivered her first two both at 36 weeks with uncomplicated pregnancies - no betamethasone - both had respiratory complications and spent weeks in the NICU.
24 weeks is 6 months.

I am a Labor & Delivery Nurse - We Call It A Fetal Demise. A Baby is not Viable until 23-24 weeks, but it is not just termed a miscarriage.
24 weeks is equivalent to 6 months. 1 month has approximately 4 weeks.
hello. you can miscarry at 20 weeks or 30. i lost my baby at 7 months.
Could be hours to days to weeks. Everyone is different. You will probably start active labor within 24 hours. There is no stopping labor at this point.
I'm 17 weeks today and my fiancee has felt the baby twice. Also, my sister is 24 weeks and the baby stops kicking when she trys to let anyone feel it. It really just depends on the baby.
