I think I'm just worried because I've already started to dilate

my daughter before this one was born at 35weeks 4days and still had to go to the nicu. but my oldest daughter was born at 35weeks 6days and didnt have to go. im just scared because i couldnt stand being away from my daughter when she was in the nicu

There's a much higher chance that after 35 weeks your baby won't have to be in the nicu. My hospital doesn't have a nicu and my dr told me that if I had my baby before 35 weeks they would send me to a bigger hospital two hours away from home because that's the closest nicu. After 35 weeks I can give birth in my hospital (which is still an hour away) and not worry too much

Your a really close to being term I wouldn't worry even if baby was born now 95%of babies born at 35 weeks have no problems at all😉
