and if you actually KNEW at 35 weeks, the baby's lungs are underdeveloped which can lead to a baby staying in NICU. Which, I would know from PERSONAL experience and research. So if we can just stop our little debate now, that would be great.

I'm not saying I know more, but I have a little experience. Especially going into labor EARLY twice with both of my children 27 weeks and 35 weeks and almost losing my current child twice. Which in all 3 cases, I have seen different doctors (obgyn) but have always gone back to my REGULAR doctor.

I was being nice and apologizing to you, pointing out that I was wrong, you were right but you're not really showing that you can see that.

@mrsschutte1323, you're right. I've seen one doctor. Delivered with 2 different doctors, had a doctor that almost killed my child, I've been in and out of the ER with all 3 of my pregnancies, have no pregnant friends or family. But have over 13 nieces and nephews and have NO idea what I'm talking about. I also never went into labor at 35 weeks while in California at my brother in laws funeral. NEVER assisted in my sister's pregnancy because she had NO prenatal care and I'm definitely not studying to become a midwife.

Maybe before you open your mouth you should actually have a kid before you try to act like your high and mighty from you 2 doctors and only know from he say she say of OTHER people's experiences.

@boogersbugsanddirt,

I didn't disagree with any of that. I disagreed that most doctors will most definitely stop labor at 35 weeks. You've had one dr. I've seen two and asked the same questions and I've talked to several women in my family and a lot of women on preggie. A. Lot. Of doctors don't even try to stop labor at 35 weeks. Before then yes they will do everything possible but I've heard and seen very few experiences after 35 weeks where they try to stop it. Maybe your one doctor will though. So whatever you say :)

@mrsschutte1323,

I'll admit you were right about the medical term not being "full term" until 39 weeks. But 37 weeks is considered term for having a baby. Doctors still sweep membranes at request. At least, some will.

Yea okay.

@mrsschutte1323, whatever you say. :)

Not just with my doctor. (Either of the two I've had) but with a lot of doctors.

@mrsschutte1323,

Maybe so with your doctor. All 3 of my pregnancies have been with the same doctor, nothing has changed. If they are able to stop the contractions at 35 weeks, they most certainly will. Whether you purposely put yourself in labor or not. If doctors didn't consider 37 weeks term, they wouldn't sweep membranes to help you go into labor naturally.

I think it's preterm before 37 weeks and early term 37-38 weeks and full at 39. That's why they won't induce unless something is wrong @boogersbugsanddirt but at 35 weeks they probably wouldn't stop it if the baby was trying to come but if you're trying to MAKE the baby come they would more than likely stop it because the baby is still too underdeveloped for the most part.

Let that baby bake mama! Just prep all your hospital bags and relax, sleep and eat good! Baby will be here soon!

@mrsschutte1323, I think it varies from doctor to doctor. Mine has always said 37 weeks but won't induce until 39 weeks.

So if you go into labor at 37 weeks they won't try to stop it.

That's even longer lol 😩 @mrsschutte1323

And you're actually not considered full term until 39 weeks now @boogersbugsanddirt they changed it

Aweee man 😢😏 lol I guess I just have to be patient . Thank you ☺️

Lol probably not gonna go into labor. You'd probably over work yourself unless you usually run.

It's not likely. And if you started having contractions, L&D would likely try and stop it. You are not considered full term until 37 weeks and your profile says 35 weeks, sorry mama.

I wouldn't go into labor? @boogersbugsanddirt 😭

You'll get really tired and maybe sore.
