How to make it to 40 weeks?

Question

I know most tips & tricks are on how to go into labor. But are there any to make it to 40 weeks?
My first 2 came at 37 weeks, and were tiny 5lbs each. Third pregnancy, and my goal is literally to just be able to make it to 40 weeks and beyond, so my baby has more time to develop. What are some things I can avoid to not go into labor early?

Answer

I don’t think there’s anything you can do. Baby will come when he or she wants

Answer

Did your babies have to stay in the hospital longer because they came a few weeks early?? If so, I can see why you’d want to try and make it to 40 weeks this time. And unfortunately I don’t really have much advice except to maybe try and take it easy in the last few weeks. 😕
But if they were born healthy and well enough to go home on time, then there isn’t much to worry about! Some moms deliver earlier or later than others. I follow a mom who has delivered all her babies on the “earlier” side between 37 and 39 weeks.
