Is it really gonna b much different than a full term baby or about the same?

  • Should be close to the same hun, as long as the lungs are fully developed, maybe a little smaller but other than that pretty normal. :)
  • My daughter was born at 36weeks and she had to stay in the NICU for two weeks. I had my son at 38 weeks and he was good.
  • My baby was 33 to 34 weeks 4 pounds no nicu no help breathing so for my was just that she was smaller than full term that's it
  • well I hope he wont have to stay cause I really wanna bring him home with me. Im 32wks now n my doc says hes already measuring a lil over 5lbs so I hope he can come at 36.
  • Why not wait til the baby is full term??
  • @Janet_2011 because I have a cervical cerclage and it has to b removed at 36wks. plus the baby is measuring 4 weeks bigger and he is causing alot of damage to my hip and pelvis aside from me being already 2.5cm dilated. So its a must for them to remove it so that there is no damage done to my cervix.
  • @proudmum ohh ok I though you just wanted baby out early. And wow.. Big baby , I wonder how big he would be if you went full term.
  • @Janet_2011 They said if i went to 40 wks he could b between 10 n 11lbs if he kept growing at the pase he has been.
  • Baby could even out by then, I was told my baby was 4 wks ahead and was gonna be huge but he slowed down and is average now...they said he could've had a growth spirt at that point in time! Good luck hun!
  • @ethansmommy122 Hes been measuring since i was 21 wks so idk hopefully he slows down. LoL
  • Had my first son at 36 weeks he was
    7lb 12oz and was fine in nicu for 1 hour fluid in lungs I had a c section due to
    pre e.

  • Good lookin on the advice to my girl and baby.Thank u
  • I find out tomorrow after my amniocentesis shot if I'm having my little one at 36 weeks. I'll be one day away from 37 weeks. She doesn't want me to go into labor because of the surgery I had last year. I'm 36 weeks now so he may be here on Monday.
