If you delivered at 37 weeks, when could you take your baby home?

Question

I’ve been told my baby is measuring small around the abdomen. Due to this, I’ll need to be induced so he can be delivered the latest at 37 weeks, but potentially anytime between week 33-37. 
If you’ve experienced this, when could you take your baby home? Did you have any complications? Any information is helpful. Thanks.

Answer

It doesn’t really matter how many weeks pregnant you were, it’s more so is baby at least 5 lbs, is their health okay, etc

I was induced and had my baby at 37 weeks. I had a c-section, and the typical stay at my hospital is 4 days, and that’s how long I stayed. My baby needed oxygen at birth, and spent 2 days in the nicu.

Answer

I just had my daughter at 36w 4d she was 5lbs 11oz healthy as all get out. Now I did have two steroid shots a week before she was born because drs knew I’d deliver soon, so I believe the shots helped and kept her out of the nicu.

Answer

I delivered at 37 weeks exactly. He was over 7 lbs and we didn't have to wait for him to get discharged, he was fine. His breathing pattern was off for the first few minutes but they just kept working on him and he was fine. He went from an APGAR score of 3 to 8, so he improved quickly.

Answer

My daughter was born at 34 weeks and 4 days, and we spent 8 days in hospital! However I feel like if the NICU wasn't so crammed we would have stayed longer
