Anyone else have baby at 36 weeks? Was it ok? | 7/3/09 7:29 AM
I went in yesterday for my checkup. I was dilated 1 cenimeter & having contractions 2-4 minutes paprt. They gave me more niphedipin e to stop them. They slowe down to 6-10 minutes apart & sent me home last night. Today they are 12-20 minutes apart. The dr.says I am not in labor but I am not so sure. It feels like labor to me! They are trying to hold off a few more days because they are still worried about the babies lungs being developed. My son was born at 36 weeks & he is fine. Please share your experience with this! Thanks so much!

I don't have any experience, but I did meet someone recently who had her baby at 27 weeks. The baby was in the hospital for a while but she is perfectly fine now at 13months. So I'm sure if a baby can survive like that at 27 weeks, a baby would have a much better chance at 36 weeks. Plus, you're only a week away from being considered full term. I'm sure everythikng will be just fine! Good luck!

My best friend gave birth 4.5 weeks early and she now has a beautiful 2 week old baby girl! She was 5.8lbs came home from the hospital 2 days after she was born!

My son was born at 36 weeks, because of HELLP syndrome. He was delivered via c-section and had extra fluid in his lungs as a result. He was in the NICU as a result. It wasn't ideal, but he came home 1 day after I did. And, I am happy to say he is perfectly healthy. Good luck!!!

I had my son @ 34 weeks and five days. He was 5 lbs 6ozs and fine. He did have to stay in the NICU for 6 days however, due to me having a UTI, and my water being broken for longer than 24 hours, and him showing some infection in his lungs. They wanted to keep him on antibiotics. He was the healthest baby in there. He is not 28 lbs, 11 months today and has no health issues.
