Question

Has anyone given birth at 31 weeks? Or close to 31? I came to get an ultrasound yesterday morning and the doctor noticed my daughter is a week smaller than she went into looking further and said that my placenta isn't nurturing my daughter. So I received a steroid shot to help develope her lungs. That way when they induce me she'll be a little stronger. My question is how long do you think she may need to stay in the nicu? I'm a FTM and totally freaking out.

Answer

My son was born 29 weeks 4 days only needed iv fluids feeding tube incubator and billi light for jaundice since i was already given steroid shots for his lungs he was breathing on his own spent 2 1/2 months in the nicu he is now 4 and doing amazing

My daughter i was induced at 37 weeks 1 day for low weight on scans and they were correct she was 4lbs 9oz at birth she only needed a heat lamp for a few mins after birth and came home with me at 2 days old shes now 25 weeks old and doing fantastic she loves her bubby shes trying to crawl and sit up its hard for her to eat baby food since she has lip and tongue tie but next month that should be fixed

Answer

I might be on the same boat. I've always given birth at 34 weeks which is good but I'm currently only 29 weeks and noticed I dropped. Been pooping a lot more lately. With my second as soon as I dropped I went into labor 2-3 days later. Now I'm really nervous as well. I hope we can all make it to 34 weeks so I can't help you with much there
