39 weeks is full term. Anything before 39 weeks is NOT full term. 38 weeks? Nope. 37 weeks? Noooope.…

I understand some people want to meet their baby already and can’t wait any longer especially when their almost due but I think you should let your baby come whenever the baby is ready not try to get induced when you don’t need it let the baby come when it wants to come

I would give anything to have a regular pregnancy and let baby cook for as long as possible.

Unfortunately i fall under that “ Medically necessary “ chart.

I had to be induced at 38 weeks and really didn't want to. I don't understand how women want their babies to come early and not developed properly if they have a choice. 🤦‍♀️

I had an extremely healthy and wonderful pregnancy. I was so happy being pregnant. My daughter came preterm at 36 and 3. She was only 5 lb when we left the hospital but was healthy. We were lucky.

Our hospital bill was double since she required extra monitoring. She had daily blood draws and photolight therapy for days after bringing her home. We have only just this month paid off all the expenses for her early birth. She is now 20 months.

I’ve had 2 separate women tell me how lucky I was that I didn’t “have” to carry to term. These were moms. I was completely floored. I am “lucky” my doll was healthy. All that extra money was only from precaution testing and early intervention treatments. I can’t imagine the emotional and financial toll those who aren’t as lucky as we were go through.

Some ppl lack common sense. 🤦🏼‍♀️

One of my hot button topics is people hoping they go into labor before 40 weeks.

Even people at 38/39 saying they wish the baby would come irks the shit out of me.

It’s 42 max weeks. Relax.

I get it!! I carried my first to one day shy of 42 weeks, while I was 65lbs heavier, win the average temperature that week was 104°, when I was swollen and in major pain. I get it! But I also denied induction at 40 weeks because I figured I was fine and so was baby!

Unless it’s medically necessary, why rush it?!

Because you’re over it, cranky, and in pain?? Stop being selfish and let that baby grow! 👏🏼

I have had babies early and a few days before due date and the longer they stayed in the better it was.

This is dumb, my boys were born 38 weeks completely healthy and big no complications whatsoever.
