Have baby at 36 weeks?

Question

My bp is going crazy I'm suppose to get induced at 38 weeks but I have been so dizzy and sick could they induce me earlier i feel like I'm going to pass out I'm already dialated and baby is measuring 2 weeks ahead.

Answer

Wow. So many different opinions of what is considered full term. Here's the updated info on what is officially considered full term (39 weeks) based on the latest definitions. 36 weeks would be considered preterm while 38 weeks falls under early term. 
Certainly the earlier baby is born the higher the potential risks, but the question is whether the risks are outweighed by the potential risks to you staying pregnant longer. That is something you need to discuss with your doctors as they know you and your pregnancy and also have medical training that most of us on these chatrooms do not have. Good Luck!

My doc told me that if I were to get mild preeclampsia she induces at 37 weeks. And for severe preeclampsia she induces at 34. Talk to you doc.

Answer

I had my first at 38 weeks. She came out 7lb2oz and my 2nd baby cam out 36weeks and 5lb 12oz. My oldest is 12 now and 5’5’’ and my youngest is almost 4’8’’ and I’ll be 9 in November. All babies are different. Mine are always head I have no idea why. My doctor has already told me I most likely will deliver my next one early too. But he’s already 4 days ahead.

At 36 weeks your baby could be fine or it could need just a little extra help. You can’t really tell. A coworker had his baby at 36 weeks and she was fine, no nicu or extra help whatsoever.

Answer

36 weeks is actually considered late pre-term and babies could potentially suffer from respiratory distress. 40 weeks is considered full-term. Definitely talk with your doctor and let them know what is going on! They will weigh the risks of if baby if safer in or out. Good luck!!!

I’ve heard 36 weeks is too soon, and that 38 weeks is full term.

Answer

37 weeks is full term, if baby is measuring big or you have health issues 36 weeks isn’t too early. 
My midwife told me baby’s are usually pretty safe after 26 weeks.
