Born at 36 weeks? How was baby?

[Bumpsadaisie]

I've just got back from an overnight stay in hospital due to very intense period type pain yesterday which wore off overnight. Everything normal otherwise eg no infection, no bleeding, BP ok, all the tests they ran were fine.

So it could just have been one of those things or it could possibly materialise into early labour in the next days.

I'm 35+3 at the moment and just wondered whether anyone could share experiences of how your 36 week ish baby was if born at that stage? My DD was born at 40 weeks, was a good weight and fed straight off with no problems and i have this idea that if this baby does come soon I am going to have many more problems feeding him etc as he won't be quite ready?

I had my son at 36 weeks exactly by emcs, he was 5lb 1oz. Bit jaundiced and sleepy. I had pre-eclampsia. He met all his milestones at the normal times although he as always been on the small side. He is almost 16 and looks just below average height in a line up of his friends.

I'm glad to read all these stories on here and hope they have reassured you somewhat Bumps!

Ds2 35 + 6 didn't have steroid injections, weighed 5lb 15 fed well and was out of hospital 3 days later

Ds3 was born 8 weeks early and only spent 10 days in hospital so try not to worry

Posted to early, he was late to smile and had slight jaundice but other than that no problems. He is now 8 extremely bright and one of the tallest in the class

My twins were bornat 32 weeks, 3.5 and 4.5 lbs. !3 days in scibu but could feed and breathe from the outset. they were fine, just kept in as they were a little bit small to be allowed home.
