[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She posted last week “one month.”

She’s 36 or 37 weeks by now. Practically full term. [/quote]

36 weeks is still early to go into labor. It’s not an emergency, emergency, but outcomes are meaningfully worse than full term. The median 36 weeker ends up in the NICU. If it’s a boy and/or they don’t get lung shots in in time, odds of a substantial NICU stay go up substantially. We’ve all gotten super used to modern medicine saving premises, but many of those kids have substantial complications… and 60 years ago the President’s baby was dying from prematurity at 35 weeks. It’s not no big deal to be a month early.[/quote]
This is way over-exaggerated. 36 weekers do not have “meaningfully worse outcomes”, or “substantial complications” just by virtue of being born at 36 weeks. I had 2 36 weekers 11 years ago and it was no big deal, the doctors were not concerned in the least before my delivery. [/quote]

NP. I was told that if I had another baby I would need a c-section at 36 weeks because of possible complications for me and the baby. So the doctors clearly found that to be an acceptable threshold of gestation.[/quote]

36 weeks is just days from full-term. Both my kids were born right around then (one a few days past 36 weeks, one a day before). Absolutely no intervention needed during labor or after. They didn't even consider it pre-term at all. [/quote]

It depends on if the baby was a boy or a girl. Usually boys would need the steroid shots. [/quote]
36 weeks is so close to full term. Zero chance of needing lung shots or intervention unless there was a medical reason with the baby for early delivery [/quote]
