fi there is not any cervical change it is not preterm LABOR, but just annoying preterm contractions -- the problem is it is impossible to predict whcih contractions will lead to cervical change, making cervical checks necessary. There are some newer tools (salivary estriol and cervical fetal fibrinectin swabs) that can help us predict which women are at low risk of rpeterm delivery and therefore, do not need treatment >
