I am 37 weeks pregnant and I want to know how many moms gave birth around this time or knew anyone who gave birth around this time
So whether it was your 37 week(3 weeks early)....your 38th week(2 weeks early) or your 39th week( 1 week early)
How was the baby after arriving early(although they are considered full term now)
How much did the baby weigh?
And when did you get to go home from the hospital?when did the baby get to leave?

I gave birth at week 38. My son was great. No problems. He weighed 7pds 7oz. I went home the next day. I did have a stretch and sweep at the Doctor's a couple of days before I gave birth. This is an internal exam that will help things move along. I recommend it. If all is well with baby why not have the baby. All the best to you.

My daughter was born 9 days early. She weighed 8 lbs. 4 3/4 ozs. Because she was early, the doctors rushed her out to check her all over. I didn't get to hold her right away. :( It was strange because I thought 9 days wasn't a huge deal. In the end, she was perfect! We both went home on the second day.

I was induced 10 days previous to due date, baby was fine and weighed 7 lbs, 9 ozs. Went in Tuesday, home Thursday with baby.
Best friend delivered twins one week early, one baby good, one baby lung issues. Both babies were over 5 lbs. First baby and mom home four days later (c-section), second baby home two weeks later, now fine.
I know you're ready but enjoy your last few weeks of someone else not running your world. Not saying it's bad but they aren't kidding when they say your world is gonna change! :) Good luck.

My first was born at 39 weeks, she weighed 7 lb 12 oz and went home in two days. She's now almost six and doing great.
My second was born at 36 weeks, she weighed 6 lb 4 oz and went home three days after, she's now 4 and going great as well.
Your baby should be fine, congrats to you!

I had a c-section at 38 weeks (scheduled due to gestational diabetes)
My little girl was perfectly healthy and scored a 9 on her apgar.
She was 7 lbs even and 21" long.
We both went home after a 4 day stay in the hospital (normal stay at our hospital for a c-section)

I had my baby 2 1/2 weeks early, according to my due date. She was almost 6 lbs., she's always been very healthy, and we both went home after 2 days.

my daughter arrived 10 days early so I was mid 38 weeks. For her birth weight she was 6lbs 12.8 oz
I left the next mornign as there was an influx of moms giving birth and even thought I was top of list for private room next day. I gave it up and went home. I also waited for 24h so she could get her PKU test done at hospital and not having me return later to do it

I had my son at 37 weeks. Like you said this time is now considered to be full term so usually there isn't many problems. My son had no problems at all and was 6lbs 5 ozs.
