### input:
I am 33 wks pregnant with my second child (14 years apart). I walked into the hospital at 9 cm dilated and had no idea I was even in labor (I felt damp in my underpants and was curious since it was not a show) when I had him. I have been getting extreme hot flashes with a lot of tighting in the belly. Come to find out, I am 2 cm dilated, 60% effaced, baby went from a -3 to a -2 in a day....two days ago they gave me a shot to stop the contractions - which I found out it was the tighting that were contractions. since that time, I have had two spells of what seems to be heart palvations, fever and flushed. I am still have contractions, but I only know that because I am now aware of what they are. Should I be worred? 4 days before my appointment, I had the same type of feeling. I did not know I was in preterm labor until my appointment (and the doctor found all that out).

### output:

Hi there, To be in a preterm labor is a scary situation. Do not worry, even if you into labor at 33 weeks the chances of the survival of the baby are very good. The doctors must be trying to delay labor till 34 weeks as that is what we consider to be an important milestone. Babies born after 34 weeks have as good a prognosis as those born at full term. The medications given to you to stop the contractions can sometimes cause the palpitations and flushing and if these symptoms are troubling you, you should not take further doses of that Chat Doctor. They must have also given you a shot of steroid called dexamethasone this is for lung development of the baby and so that the baby does not have any breathing problems once delivered. Hope this helps. Regards.
