Helped prevent labor

I went into preterm labor at 29 weeks. Every time I got up my uterus would get hard (contractions) and the longer I stood the worse it got. I was in labor almost every time I did something. I started wearing this at about 31 weeks after 2 weeks of bed rest. This helped a lot in preventing contractions. The first day I put it on, I noticed I could stand much longer without contractions. It can be worn under any of my normal clothes. I would recommend wearing a thin cotton shirt underneath if it's very hot outside, but otherwise it's comfortable. For others having the same problem, I find helpful: drinking water (I drink about 3 liters a day + other things), lying on the left side, acupuncture, hot herbal tea, hot liquids in general, and coconut water. Hot liquids have been very helpful for stopping labor - wait until they're hot enough not to burn you, then quickly drink the entire drink. Coconut water has helped because it replenishes some of the electrolytes your muscles (uterus) need after drinking so much water. Acupuncture helps for about 3 days, so I would suggest doing it right before a more active day. Hope this helps someone out there!
