My son was born at 36 weeks and he was healthy and beautiful. He had a bit of trouble later with fluid in his lungs but that was thanks to the C-section--the fluid is naturally expelled during a natural birth.

I was induced at 36 weeks he was 7lbs 14 1/2 oz. I had a c-section at 35 weeks. He was 7lbs 2oz and stayed in the hosp. 2 extra days for slight jaundice. (he is 8yo and Perfectly Fine!!) I am having another c-sec. at 36 weeks Dec. 3rd this time around.

My daughter was born at 35.5 weeks and she was totally fine. My son was born at 37 weeks and he too was just fine. 37 weeks is considered term, so you wouldn`t be too far off. :)

big health risks, almost always no. issues like lung development not being completely ready or not being able to maintain body temperature on their own are usually very slight, but a possibility. most babies are usually fine. it all just depends on the baby.

my son was born at 36 weeks and he had a couple breathing problems & jaundice but he was fine and i was able to leave in 5 days :)... there is a little bit more risk then 37 + weeks...but its so close

  2. Thanks to my twin`s ability to trek down here, my records are straightened out! I will be having my first appointment on February 29th. I will be 10 weeks-ish. Around here that is about when they want to see you. When did you get your first appointment?
  3. What do you think is better (or worse) for kids? TV or video games?
  4. I`m interesed in getting an innotab for my kids. Are the extra downloads pricey? How is the product as a whole?
  5. Thought they were fixing the problem with the profiles? Mine is now starting to disappear and most of my friends profiles are gone. Is it getting fixed or what because its more than a joke at the moment. Maybe its the ads causing the problems because its the only thing that seems to stay when the profiles disappear.
  6. If you had a `favourable` cervix (started to dilate and soft) did a membrane sweep work for you?
  7. Should I buy my sister a Belly Bandit for her shower? She said that is what she wanted when I asked. I just have a hard time spending that much money on some thing she might niot like. Especially because it was me who put the dumb :) idea in her head!! I bought and used one for three out of my four and loved it...but is it for everyone? Or should I throw down the money to something more practical?
  8. Are your children exposed to two hours or less of TV per day? (This includes when your shows are on and they are awake and around at the same time in the same room)

  10. Extension of last Valentine question..I should clarify that we are having V-day dinner tomorrow alone but still just the fact that he bought our gifts at the same time at the same place bugs the s-it out of me. He knows I like plants and I`m pretty sure he went to a nice nursey and got me one but the fact is he told me he got his mom a small little plant. OMG I fee like I total b-tch but I feel like telling him I know what he probably got me and I do not want anything that you are giving your mom!! But then he wopuld know I snooped and saw where he went on our checking account.
