preventing premature delivery

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know of anything that helps prevent premature delivery? A friend

of a friend has been pulled out of work due to pre-term contractions (She's

not due until the end of February). She's a bit frustrated (and scared)

since she's been eating well and seemingly doing everything right. What I've

been told is that she's probably already doing high vitamin CLO, coconut

oil, lots of eggs, salmon, liver, etc.

Also, does anyone have the URL of the NN infant nutrition list?

Thanks for the info . Here's what my friend says:

" She is having " real " contractions, not Braxton Hicks, which is why she's

concerned. Apparently the real ones will continue to soften her cervix and

the baby's head is already positioned and pushing against her cervix. "

Yes, many times the " real " contractions are getting the baby into

position. I had TONS of contractions because my son was on the right

side with his chin up instead of chin down in the center. Many times

your body is working VERY hard to get them in the exact right position.

If she knows the position she can work on doing exercises and sitting

correctly to keep the baby in the right position. This can help to

lessen those position contractions. I would still recommend rest &

hydration. Basically staying away from what causes them...for some it

is walking, others it is even emotional stress. Has she has actual

cervical changes yet? Not sure if she has a OB or a midwife but I know

there are something things you can do to help with lung development if

early delivery is imminent.
