ladies, so I'm having another csection and I was wondering if once i hit the 37weeks to ask my doc to just let me have my baby or should I just wait?
I'm 27weeks right now!!
@jjordan86, ok. And like I said, glad you did. Side note, babies need that extra fat for temp regulation after birth, especially given the weight loss they're facing. Just curious why an OB would say that is all. I'm an RN too.
That's not the case for every baby, that's why I advised her to talk to her doctor. I think I've been a RN long enough to know. @mommagotbump16
@jjordan86, it's good that you had that discussion with your doc, but that is not accurate-there is still lung development that isn't complete til after 38 weeks (surfactant creation). Baby's have better outcomes the longer they stay in, barring complications from iugr etc.
My doctor and I had the discussion. my baby is will be full term just sitting in there putting on fat. Talk with your doctor and see what they suggest. it's not being selfish @1130nnne
is it? I don't wanna be selfish and have him soon but I mean if I'm having a csection and I know its safe why not do it at 37weeks @jjordan86
I'm having my c section at 37 weeks. it's completely safe
I would wait. Baby will be full term closer to 39 weeks. 😊 @1130nnne
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Hi
I am into my 15 week now
But since last two days am not having good feeling....I just feel something is wrong inside wid d kid...all my symptoms r too less
Morning sickness is gone....Metallic taste of my tounge is also less....and I feel pain in my abdoman twice or thrice which is very minor though
What should i do i am very confused
Already have gone through 5 scans because of changing gynec
Just feel that untill i hear the heartbeat or see my kid i wont b ok....got sleepless nights
So my water just broke and I have no idea what I'm supposed to do and I'm home alone
I'm afraid I'm unable to have children.. My boyfriend and I are trying, I just have a terrible gut instinct. :(
Question! If I'm just ovulating today and my period is supposed to be due January 4th. Will I have my period on time?
a 5lb baby can regulate body temp just fine. Most doctors make mommies go to full term because insurance companies don't like to pay for what they consider preterm babies because if they have to go to nicu, it's 8000 a day. it's cheaper to keep the woman pregnant. I am very educated and I know what doctors won't tell you. I work both the medical side and the billing side. @mommagotbump16
