I know that when time comes toward the end of your pregnancy, we all feel like complete crap and terrible, but I am asking you to please be thankful for everyday that your baby is in you. My daughter was born on September 12th at 36weeks 6days. Both her lungs were collapsed and she spent 5 days having air pushed into her lungs trying to get them to open all the way. She is doing good now, but she certainly was not ready to enter the world. I see babies born at 37weeks, or mothers saying "oh 37weeks is full term and your baby will be fine" and the truth is, only your body and your baby know when they will "be fine". I pray that my daughter could have spent any amount of extra time inside me because then I wouldn't have watched her with more tubes in her body then you could ever imagine. Please, nobody should try to self-induce. Just let your body do it naturally or once your due date hits, talk to your doctor about things. I know it hurts your back and feet and head, but those aches and pains are a lot easier then watching your day old baby suffer through tubes and cords.
Thank you guys for listening... Please, take my advice.

Thank you thank you thank you for posting this. My son was born (by csection) at 37 wks and today (hes 10) we STILL deal w/complications from his birth at 37. Today he is home from school and feeling awful because of his asthma. It all started w/his being "full term" and being delivered at 37 wks. I am praying for a speedy and healthy recovery for your baby girl, with no future complications. Thank you for posting this. I was thinking the same thing earlier. I am hoping my girl stays right where she is for 10 more days, no matter how uncomfortable I am....lungs are the last to mature, and they need everyday to get there.

Im so glad your little one is doing better! Pregnancy is hard but that is something I would never want to go through! 37weeks is full term but your due date can be off by 2weeks so its really not safe until at LEAST 39weeks. But I agree, its best to let your body tell you when its time. Unless you go over by 2 weeks because thats not safe either.

May I ask what caused your little one to be born early??
