the amount of women who are clueless about their own anatomy is so sad and shocking. a lot of the women are older than me and have more children then I do 😳 now I understand that everyone has their own opinion on the topic and grown adults can do whatever they want with their bodies but to deny facts and make up false statements about your own anatomy when it comes to your unborn child is just so disappointing. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=516754249189660&id=100025652680318 so yes ima go hard in the comments because unborn babies are involved!
I hope all these women having baby boys are researching circumcision. It really is not necessary, and it puts your baby at risk for dying. Please don't do it just because you think it's "normal".
Full term pregnancies Are doctors really still telling people that 37-38 weeks is full term???? ACOG and SMFM both define full term as 39-40 weeks. 37-38 is term. 41-32 is late term. Babies born at 37+ weeks are almost always just fine but there are clearly researched benefits to going to 39-40.

@twinmamma2015, I plan on doing a hospital tour and touring the NICU to familiarize myself with it. I'm just hoping to never see it again after that.

@twinmamma2015, I love how dedicated you were to the pregnancy. I do my best with healthy eating, protein shakes and vitamins and I have all the faith in the world that I am capable of carrying these babies to 38 weeks.

@mjbaby2016, I know the definition has changed. and recently there has been some research done outlining terms. They've been redefined.

My np just told me yesterday that 37 is full term...why is everything so different?! 😖

@wrd2016, I wouldn't know if it's easier or harder. With my induction labor was 27 hours. But I have friends induced at full term that had their babies in 4 hours. It's hard to know.

@cdgfreeman, 37 weeks sounds like a good time for twins. I'll be hoping for you, I'm sorry it's been so rough for you so far.

@twinmamma2015, Your story makes me feel so much better. I always hear scary stories with twins. I love that they were so healthy and good to go home when you did. That's all I want for mine. Any other outcome would be heartbreaking. I love chunky babies, my firstborn was a little bird when he was born and still is. I never got the chunky with him. Maybe these boys will be as healthy as yours are!! Fingers crossed!

uhh I hope so too, I really don't want to be induced, but I don't want her daddy to miss it either, I've heard induction is so much worse than waiting to go on your own.. but thank you :)

I had my first two as preterm babies but I went into labor on my own and that's no methods at all and they where high risk. I was scheduled to be induced with my son but like I said I went into labor on my own and he was a 2VC. I'm 38 weeks and 4 days with baby #3 and I'm being induced on Sunday which makes me at 39 weeks and 1 day. but I'm pregnant with the Mirena still in which has been an extreme high risk. their shocked I made it this far...they thought I would have gone into labor early. I understand the whole being induced if need be but let the baby come on their own

I pray and pray ot make it full term with my twins but I've been in preterm labor since 28 weeks and my doctor is thinking 37 weeks if I make it thst gar to induce because I'm so sick.

@yahuahsdaughter, My first son was late term as well and I was induced with him. It feels like they're going to live there forever.

oh I've heard bad things about castor oil and would never try that, && I don't plan on trying any labor inducing methods either, I want to go as long as possible, up to my induction date (39 weeks 5 days) so my girl has all the time she needs :) more so bc I'm so small and I feel like she's going to be a smaller baby. good luck with your twins :)

@twinmamma2015, I know with multiples it's different. My specialist is at The University of Utah, she and my doctor want to hold out until 38 weeks too. I just want to get there.

See my doctors will only deliver twins between 37 n 38 weeks and won't let you go past 38 weeks. I had the boys at University of Tennessee hospital and they considered them full term even my local WIC office consider them full term

@chasinghappiness, Some women may get offended but I'm seeing it a lot lately. I'm wondering of they just don't understand the risks involved. That's why I posted the picture showing how the end of pregnancy is termed.

I had that question too. I had my son at 37 weeks and 2 days and I was freaking out. I really don't get why women would Want to be induced early. But I don't say anything in case anyone gets offended.

Мама сына (8 лет), беременна (23 нед.)
@twinmamma2015, I know, it's so scary. I want them to stay in there as long as possible. Full term for twins is considered to be 38 weeks, I believe. My doctor said their placentas begin to fail not long after that. I just want to get as close to that as possible. I would be grateful for 37 weeks too.

Most twins don't go full term due to risk of hurting each other or clamping off cords, I had my boys at 37 weeks n 1 day and they're perfectly healthy so far thank God.

Мама сына (8 лет), беременна (23 нед.)
As long as you're full term it really doesn't matter. Sometimes even going past full term isn't a good idea as the placentas stop functioning as well. I'm all for induction when necessary or at full term for whatever reason. I cannot stand women who are not full term trying to go in to labor and using ridiculous methods like castor oil. It makes me crazy. @wrd2016

I plan to be induced but only bc my daughter's daddy will be working out of town and we need a set date, but I'm glad she will still be considered full term at almost 40 weeks, just a day or 2 before my due date
