Any chance they'll send you home on bedrest? That's what I'd be aiming for, myself. Every day, every week your baby stays in makes it more likely that his/her lungs, heart, gut, latch, will be more prepared for life on the outside. Are they giving you steroids?
So: personally, I'd try to get out of hospital ASAP, stay horizontal as much as humanly possible, and try to avoid getting labor started. Hang in there! I know how emotionally exhausting this can be.
