In the hospital they told me that boys lung development is about two weeks behind i would highly suggest that you ask your doctor or if your in the hospital your nurse if they could give you a steroid shot to help babies lungs develop faster

A boy. And that's so good to hear @teeanna

She was really healthy! 5 pounds 1 ounce. When i gave birth there was id say around 20 ppl in my room she had a whole set of doctors incase she wasn't breathing when she came out which she was thankfully! She did have a little trouble being able to such swallow and breath all at the same time which they told me was normal for babies born early she had and is still having issues with throwing up all of her formula which is worrying to me but the doctors aren't concerned about because shes gaining weight like crazy she's already caught up with full term 3 month olds. Are you having a boy or girl?

Is she healthy and okay? Did she have any difficulties? @teeanna

I had my daughter at 33 weeks she spend two weeks in the nicu before coning home

Yes you can have the baby sooner and normal when you have pre term labor your baby will be in nicu normally

@indixoxo, we'll I knew what It definition is bit does that mean I can have the baby sooner

Preterm labor is defined as regular contractions of the uterus resulting in changes in the cervix that start before 37 weeks of pregnancy. Changes in the cervix include effacement (the cervix thins out) and dilation (the cervix opens so that the fetus can enter the birth canal).
