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. ok ladies, my pictures are all gone from my profile but my blogs and polls are still there,.. i have been waiting to see if it was just a glitch and they would come back but they havent.. do i need to make a new profile to fix it?
  3. When did do you pack your hospital bag?
  4. Regarding Porn on Polls
  5. Went to see Man On A Ledge on Tues.......BRILLIANT!!
  6. My friend has just started taking fertility tablets which the DR said could increase her chances of having twins by 10%. Did this work for any of you and did you have twins?
  7. OMG, I posted on FB (in reponse to a suggestion made to me on From Our House To Yours) that I didn`t like a business because the items were very expensive and my friend got a bad deal there and the owner is threatening to sue me! Have you ever heard of such a thing? I actually paid a consultation fee and my lawyer told me that she was `absurd with possible mental health problems.` I am protected by the fisrt ammendment to express my honest opinions freely where I choose, but he said she can take it to court(because people can TRY to sue over anything) anyway and that it might cost me legal bills. We will both be out a lot of money because she couldn`t possibly win. Can you believe that? FML! First my records and now this! I hope my baby isn`t a bad luck baby. I see people not recommending or recommending businesses all the time on FB!
  8. Is SaraKelly still on here? I know she was a mod but I didn`t see her post in the previous Who Is A Mod poll...
  9. ANGRY!!!! My jenakers account is missing my ENTIRE journal from my high risk pregnancy and my letthisonestick account for my 7 month old is completely gone along with my journal. I AM SICK OVER IT!
  10. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
