Hello all, I have a question, I am currently 35 weeks pregnant, and over the weekend went into the hospital for pre term labor, my contraction got to 2-5 min apart and I dialated to 2cm. They gave me some brethine and IV fluids and stopped the contractions. I am back at home now with a perscription of brethine for 10 days. and my doctor wants me in his office Friday for a non stress test.. Can anyone give me any information on the non stress test, what is it, why do I have to have it, and what will the outcome be.. The doctor also told me that once my perscription is up and if I go into labor again then we will have a baby.. He said they like to wait til patiens are at least 36 weeks.. any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
