I know that even the thought of going through preterm labor is a terrifying one, at 30 weeks of gestation, your baby has very good outcome ratio. The sickest and smallest preemies are born as early as 23 weeks of gestation and they are the ones exposed to many, many hurdles until they reach 40 weeks, or full term.
I do not know the reason behind your worries, if they have been confirmed by a medical professional or if they are worries associated with some symptoms you are currently experiencing. My baby was born at 24 weeks of gestation due to incompetent cervix and premature rupture of membranes also known as PROM, and delivered via Cesarean. After some respiratory complications and many months of ICN care, he is now 6 months old and does not have any complications from his prematurity.
If you do go into labor 30 weeks into your pregnancy, be prepared for some hospitalization time for your baby. Also remember that every week you are still pregnant counts.
In general, over 95% of babies born between week 30-33 of gestation grow to be perfectly healthy children. The ones that are at risk are babies born with certain abnormalities in the vital organs, kidneys, liver, etc. The hospital stay is typically between 6-8 weeks depending on how your baby is growing and developing. Although like with every baby born prematurely the risk of developing complications is higher than the percentage of the same risk in full term babies, at 30 weeks of gestation your baby has very good chances of overcoming his prematurity faster than younger preemies.

You shouldn't. If the pregnancy is healthy, let labor come on its own.
Do Myometrial contraction can cause pre term labor?
Yes, myometrial contractions can contribute to preterm labor. The myometrium, which is the smooth muscle layer of the uterus, can contract in response to various stimuli, leading to cervical changes and the onset of labor. If these contractions occur before 37 weeks of gestation, they can result in preterm labor, potentially leading to premature birth. Factors such as stress, infections, or uterine overdistension can trigger these contractions.

You have been spotting for 15 days off and on you had a miscarriage at 3 weeks back in nov05 im really scared you called your doctor and they told you it was normal but im still scared plese answer?
Do you know you are pregnant now, have you had a positive test? Aslong as it is just spotting you are probably ok. This is what doctors are for, to tell you what is happening. You cannot miscarry at 3 weeks as you would not even know you are pregnant. If you miscarried 3 weeks after conception that is 5 weeks pregnant not 3 weeks.
Why use betamethasone in preterm labor?
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.

Why are pregnant women given Betamethasone and Dexamethasone?
Pregnant women are given Betamethasone and Dexamethasone primarily to enhance fetal lung maturity in cases of preterm labor. These corticosteroids help stimulate the production of surfactant in the fetal lungs, reducing the risk of respiratory distress syndrome in premature infants. Additionally, they may also be used to manage certain pregnancy complications, such as fetal growth restriction or to improve outcomes in cases of preterm delivery. Their administration is typically considered when delivery is anticipated before 34 weeks of gestation.
