I am having a crazy though ladies someone smack me please
My DS1 was born 35 weeks to the day, my water broke 34 wks 6 days and he was here the next morning. I think I will go early with this baby but the thought just hit me that if things go the same way ( unlikely I know hence I call them crazy thoughts) I could have a baby in 7 weeks!!! That idea scares the living hell out of me. I am in no way ready for a baby in 7 weeks. My babyshower is set for October 22nd and with my last, I gave birth 2 weeks to the day afterward. That would set me for a mid-November baby. I dont know why but this though terrifies me. I was so lucky that Emilio had no problems ( he did have surgery 5 weeks later but it was something we knew about and was prepared for ). He didnt have to stay in the NICU and we were discharged 2 days later. I just don't want to try my luck twice.
I am having some anxiety over this which isn't helping but its just scary how REAL its becoming.
I totally get the anxiety and the realness. I could very easily have a "full term" child in 7.5 weeks and that is really really scary. I need her to stay in for the next 10.5 so her dad can be there! Sorry you're stressed out :/ Hugs!!
I think if my kids were born at 35 weeks, I would feel the same way as you. I mean, it makes sense that you worry. Did they ever give you a reason why he came early, or did it just happen...? But regardless, I hope your baby bakes until at least 37 weeks and hopefully even longer!! Hang in there.

Oh honey I know how you feel. When the OB and I where talking about my BP he said I only have to hold it for 8 weeks to be full term. The idea that in 2 months my entire world is going to change makes me shake in my boots a little bit. I am not sure I am mentally ready for that ! We will get through it together

Ok since you asked for it....
::smack::
that help?
AT least on the bright side if Little man makes his appearance around the same time as his brother then you have an idea about what to expect and that he will be developed enough to be safe
I could have written your post, DS was born at 35 weeks six days, after having labor stopped a couple of times.
I have started thinking that in less than 5 weeks I will be where I was when I found out I was 3 cm dialated and in labor with DS. To know I could be in labor in 5 weeks or less scares me.

They never had a definite answer. Cord was fine, no high bp or anything. I firmly believe it was stress as the week before his crappy father was making me crazy. The last month of my pregnancy was a very stressful time, so I think that was a big factor.

Alysaa I hope she stays in so your DF doesnt miss anything!
I just need to relax about it. He did do great but I just dont want it to be a fluke. Having all the NICU staff in my room as I was delivering was scary. They wanted to prepare me for a nicu stay and had gone over all the what could happens. I totally understand that was there job but I would not want to experience any of that. I have had a pretty uneventful pregnancy so far except for the bleeding that one time, so unless something drastic changes I am hoping to make it to AT LEAST 37 weeks. I need to remind myself that if I make it to 40 wks then I better not complain!

I am with you. DS1 was born at 34 weeks (after a couple of weeks of brethine <sp?> and magnesium) and got the steroids when my water broke at the end of the 32nd week and he came home with me within 48 hours. DS2 was born at 34 weeks and spent two weeks in the NICU. Worst. two weeks. of. my. life. My first (DD) was born at 38 weeks but I was hospitalized to stop PTL several times, starting at 34 weeks with her. I am so scared of having of going through the NICU experience again. I have major anxiety dreams about it.
Let's try to have sticky thoughts. I have a talk with my little guy, regularly, telling him how important it is that he stay put for as long as possible.
MESSAGE FOR YOUR STOWAWAY: IT ISN'T TIME YET!! YOU HAVE A LITTLE MORE BAKING TO DO! MAKE YOURSELF COMFORTABLE AND SETTLE IN FOR THE RIDE. You should respect your elders.
yea we are all gonna be whining then lol
