I went to the ob today for my 36 week appointment. At my appointment I was informed that due to my consistently high blood pressure that they will be inducing me next week.
If you've had at baby at 37 weeks what was your experience? Did baby have to go to the NICU or stay longer than a full term baby? Were there any complications ? I'm super nervous.
Sorry to hear about your complications. Try to rest as much as possible, I know easier said than done.
I had my 4th baby at 37 weeks when I woke up to find my water broke. I had my 5th at 36 weeks. She just decided it was time. Both were fine. Every baby is different so I understand your concern. 37 weeks is considered full term..
Write all your questions down and give your OB a call. Make sure to ask everything and anything. That’s what they get paid for! Good luck and can’t wait to see your bundle of joy!
Got induced at 37 weeks 4 days. Perfectly healthy other than a little jaundice. Sent us home with a light blanket for it.
I had my son at 36w5d and he was perfect . He did not need to go to the NICU.
My first was delivered at 37 weeks. He was perfectly fine! Didn’t have to have any help at all, didn’t stay any longer, he did have jaundice worse then my other 2. But that was it.
This one will probably be born at 37 weeks too for the same reason.
All mine were early.. 2 mths early ...35 weeks for the other two there fine the smallest was in nicu for a month the other two went home two days later
@poiznivy, my son was born at 37 weeks for the exact reason was perfectly healthy.
Baby is considered full term at 37 weeks.
Had my bby at 37wks came on her own weighing 7lbs no nicu stay at all ur bby will be fine unless bby was premature or complications at birth

My baby is a prune!! What fruit is your baby this week?!
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?

10 weeks 4 day appointment !! I can't believe how much baby grew in just a week!! It was so active, doing flips on ultrasound and trying to hide its face. This is the best picture I got ! Love my little acrobat !!!

Only benefit of being high risk. In two weeks, I start weekly ultrasounds to measure my cervix. Waiting on a call from my OB to make an appointment to start progesterone injections. Two appointments every week. 😂😂
I'm 22 weeks today and it felt like my baby rotated positions today - granted they move all over the place at this stage, but I wonder if he will be head down next Tuesday at 23 week ultrasound appointment...
I had my son at 37 weeks 6 days and he was 6lbs 9oz he didn’t have to stay but i also didn’t get induced my water broke on it’s own
