Im kinda anxious about it too simply because I was born at 32 weeks despite my mom being put on medicine to stop contractions. Nothing can probably predict how soon it'll happen or it may not. The baby has great chances of surviving and doing well. I go to the docs in a few days, Im hoping for good news and wish you all the best. Hopefully your body will cooperate and allow your little one to stay cozy for 12 more weeks.

I had became anemic with my daughter when I was pregnant with her and after I had her I lost a lot of blood and become more of anemic not to mention I had a emergency ceseran because her heart beat kept dropping up and down. Anyways I had a blood transfusion and was taking iron supplements for the first 3 months after I had her. You can go into preterm labor around 7 months or 8 months you just got to take care of yourself. l think you will be fine.

I delivered my son at 32 weeks for no known reason. I don't know much about your condition but @ 28 your baby has an excellent chance of survival. Here is some info.
What about babies born at 28 to 31 weeks gestation?
These babies look quite similar to babies born earlier, although they are larger (usually between 2 and 4 pounds) and even more likely to survive (about 96 percent) (13). Many require treatment with oxygen, surfactant and assistance to help them breathe. Some of these babies can be fed breastmilk or formula through a tube placed through their nose or mouth into the stomach, although others need to be fed intravenously.
Some of these babies can cry. They can move, although their movements may be jerky. A baby born at this time can grasp a person's finger. These babies can open their eyes, and they begin to stay awake and alert for short periods.
Babies born at 28 to 31 weeks are at risk for the complications discussed above. When complications occur, however, they may not be as severe as in babies born earlier. Babies born with very low birthweight (less than 3 pounds, 4 ounces) remain at risk for serious disabilities.
What about babies born at 32 to 33 weeks gestation?
About 98 percent of babies born at this time survive (13). Most weigh between 3 and 5 pounds and appear thinner than full-term babies. Many need supplemental oxygen to help them breathe, although some can breathe on their own. Some can breast- or bottle-feed, but those who have breathing difficulties probably need tube-feeding. Babies born at this time are less likely than babies born earlier to develop serious disabilities caused by premature birth, though they remain at increased risk for learning and behavioral problems.
