the earliest to give birth?

Question

Dont thinkI want this baby early,(Im not heartless and want my baby to be more than ready) but not only have i been having complication I have that stomach feeling he is coming early. i am 30+ weeks and off my feet I feel he will be here around the end of Nov hopefull the way end at 36 weeks but what if he comes early. Where is a marker where my anxiety and worry can ease up. My friend had a baby at 33+6 and he went home two days laters. is this common? Doc thinks about 34 weeks I will be getting ready to go (next appt in two weeks). Scan at 30 said he was almost 4 pounds?

Answer 1

Thanks to modern medicine even babies born at 23 weeks have surprising success. I am 34 weeks and have been having contractions on and off for about two weeks. My doctor wants me to make 36 weeks, however she thinks that I may not make that and doesn't seem overly concerned. Keep your head up and remember that modern medicine is amazing, I'm sure if you can hit 34 weeks your baby will be healthy and perfect. Also with the estimated weight remember they can be off by at least two pounds if not more... Congrats on the bay, and try not to worry 'cause that can increase the chances of early labor.

Answer 2

You could have him now and he'd be fi ne dont worry so much your just stressing yourself out. My freind had her baby at 6 months and hes fine now lots of hair he was 1 pound 14 ounces we didnt think he'd make it but he is a fighter. if your babys coming early u better be excited picking out what hes wearin home and everythings going to be great...congratulations on the baby and goodluck!!
