35 weeks

posted 11th Feb

Im 35 weeks with my 2nd child but the thing is that this pregnancy has been very different. Im not able to sleep but my questions is if my baby comes early does that mean she will be a preemie even though she still has 5 weeks too bake.

A preemie is considered anything premature.
My second baby came at exactly 35 weeks and even though she was a good size she still had breathing problems because her lungs weren't developed. She spent 11 days in the NICU, 5 of them on a ventilator.

The last thing you need to do is walking alot at 35 weeks. Take it easy that baby needs to bake longer.

Who told you that? Your plug can regenerate. Your baby is still at least two weeks away from being developed enough to be born healthy.

I would take it easy and consult your doctor. Preemies are no fun.

Quoting monique0813:" "

In order for your doctor to determine that she "looks" well enough to be born, they would have had to have done an amnio to check lung maturity. Just because she looks good and is growing right doesn't mean you should try to have her 5 weeks early.

Good luck at your appointment, hope she stays in until at least term
