As a midwife and a previous high risk labor and delivery nurse there are certain times in a pregnancy that I knew would be important if I were ever pregnant.
24 weeks = viability , i.e the baby can survive if born early
32 weeks= More mature lungs, less likely to have cranial bleeding if born early
35 weeks= Near full term- less likely to have lung issues
37 weeks = Full term.
This week is the week that I have waited for a while and can now let out a breath.
While we would like him to stay in there until March, I know that if he comes now he will most likely have no lung transition issues and for the most part will probably stay out of the NICU.
So Happy Full Term Baby OH....
Thank you for be such a good baby and not giving us trouble up to this point!
Now we are just waiting on you to decided when we get to meet you...
Which by the way we can't wait!!!!!
But please please stay in there till March if you can....
