I understand @heather11 my daughter was born at 34+3 and she was 6lbs 4oz but I was given steroids so her lu GS were fine and she was able to come home with me...

going home without your baby is the hardest thing you can ever do!

don't do it my baby was born on the 2nd 35+5 and weighed 6 lbs 14 oz and he is still in the nicu! his lungs are not developed and he will probably be there for another 2 weeks. lett that baby stay!

They had told my sister in law her baby was nearly 8 pounds at 36 weeks. She was born at 41 weeks and weighed 7.9. They are often off on the weights but the lungs are what's most important. Even an 8 pound baby can have immature lungs. By 37 weeks though your baby's lungs should be full mature. I know doctors usually won't induce until 39-41 though. I understand you're in pain. I've been stuck in bed rest for a month now due to contractions. Its no fun at all. Hopefully your little one will come soon.

you know the weight of the baby is just an estimate with my daughter I was huge but they told me shed b 4lbs bcuz she was bhind my daughter was 6lbs at birth my biggest was 6lbs7oz im only 5ft and right now 113lbs b4 I bcame pregnant I was only 94lbs with my 1st.

how far along r u

I need to be induced I physically can't carry baby anymore... @amanda1987

im sorry I remember I was like that with my last 2 I have an irritable uterus so once I hit 22wks I start contracting non stop until I deliver. I wanted to be induced but drs advised me not to.
