so my baby was born at 37 weeks but is considered a preemie. she is now 3 weeks and doing very good at home. shes been…

37 is term though. how is she a preemie?

depends on what hospital. they change things so much in medicine. I think 37 is call pre term now

the hospital she got transfered too call her a preemie do to health issues. the dr said she was concidered 2 weeks behind of what she really waso they called her a preemie. @ssdj4

@deckroth2001,

since when? I was told it's early term. @deckroth2001

hmm weird. this is why they say to let the baby come when it is time. not on your time. @juliam27

well thats what they told me at the hospital she got transfered too. she was concidered 35 weeks while i was 37 weeks. @ssdj4

Did they get your due date wrong then? I dont get how they concidered you 35 weeks when you were 37. Or was your baby behind on her growth?

When I had my at 38 they said I was full term at 37

her lungs werent as developed and she was having trouble breathing @ssdj4

my son is measuring a couple weeks ahead on growth cause of my diabetes but isn't two weeks ahead if you know what I mean. it's such a weird calculation on gestation and everything. @juliam27

all i know is what they told me. im.not sure why they concidered her 35 weeks. my due date was right november 15 was my due date but i had her october 28 do to my plecenta rupturing @andrewsmommy

@juliam27 did you go into labor or get induced? I don't know about all hospitals but I think even at 37 weeks most give steroids to help the lungs. I hope she gets better soon. my son had sleep apnea for 5 and a half weeks so I know how it goes.

thats what her nicu dr told us and her nurses told us. @ssdj4

i was induded via emergnacy c-section because my placenta ruptured@ssdj4

Ahhh. Aww you had her before ny due date! I had my son on Oct 25th. I was full term. But I was due the 29th

my nannys birthday was the 26th and i had her two days after that lol my nanny said it was her late birthday gift@andrewsmommy
