Answer

Answer

My daughter was born at 35w6d. This time around I was offered progesterone shots to help get me to fill term. Doctor said it was my choice but that 20 weeks of shots was a high price to pay for one extra day to get to term. So I’m going off of 36 weeks. 
My daughter spent a week in NICU after she was born. Her lungs were fully developed but not fully inflated so she spent some time with a cpap. She’s a perfectly healthy 3 1/2 year old now.
