Hoping to get some good news and encouragement.
So i was in the the hospital for a day and a half got discharged last night at 10 pm. Was told I'm beginning stages of preclampsia so my doc wants to take out my baby today at 2 pm. What worries me is I'm 37 weeks and the nurses and doctor keep telling me it's to early for her to come out and she'll have to be in the nicu. Anyone have or know someone who had there baby at 37 weeks with good results? P.s. about a month and a half ago I was told she's measuring a week ahead of what they thought.

@sammyjo, I hope everything goes well with this pregnancy for you. @kahtalinasmom thank you so much still a bit nervous but not as much as I was
i had my daughter at 37 weeks and one day the only thing she need help with was staying warm so we did skin to skin the first day other then that she was perfectly healthy 5 pound 9 oz 19 in long.. it was scary at first knowing she was coming early but i had preclampsia pretty bad. try not to stress to bad . the doctors know how to help your lil one if anything is wrong.
she was ok, had a fever from me, they think my uterus was infected. we went home Thursday night and she was admitted back into the hospital Friday morning because her jaundice levels doubled over night. my only problem was getting her to eat, she was very sleepy for a month, more than a full term baby. we spent every other day at the hospitals breastfeeding center to watch and monitor her eating. 37 weeks is considered full term, you and baby will be just fine!! I'm 20 weeks with this one and unfortunately my OB told me I will most likely deliver early again, if not earlier. I will be having weekly OB appointments starting around 32 weeks this time.
I hope everything goes well I will praying for you and the baby
@sunshinelovesu, for a bad headache and top abdominal pain
thanks ladies you guys are really helping me with my nerves. they gave me a shot yesterday to mature her lungs and i get the second one today. so I know that will help her a bit @jackee856 @mommawilson @sgtpeppertheory @paradisemama
My son was born at 37 weeks because he stopped growing at 33weeks. I was induced...he was born in at 4lbs 8 1/2oz he was perfectly fine went home with me too.
a friend of mine that I went to school with just had her daughter at 31 weeks due to preeclampsia. obviously she's in the nicu but she got shots for her lungs and she's been doing REALLY good for a 31 weeker. I think at 37 weeks you'll be just fine and so will baby. I was born at 36 weeks and didn't have a nicu stay. hopefully your baby is mature enough (more than likely will be) and just skips the nicu!
my son was born at 37 weeks and was healthy
@sammyjo, and no problems with your baby because she came out early?
I had my baby at 36 weeks, no NICU, but we both stayed for 4 nights because of fevers.
Anytime 💋 good luck & congrats hopefully I have mine with you today lol
@paradisemama, thanks so much
I went in because I had a bad eye ache that I couldn't open my eye and it came attached to a headache that still hasn't left and also pain in upper abdomen that still hasn't left as well
At 37 weeks you're considered late preterm . I just left L&D & was told by two Drs that There's only a 2% chance your baby will be in the nicu from 37 weeks on . Buuuut Drs don't want you to be that 2% so they try to scare you most the time . If your baby was measuring a week ahead I don't see why you'd have a nicu baby . Even then my moms a nicu dr & they are amazing & work fast to help your baby recover
Did u have any signs? What made you go to the hospital
i can definitely understand that feeling. i hope everything goes great.
