Delivery at 36 weeks due to antibodies

Due to rising anti-D antibodies from 28 weeks, there is a good chance that my baby (due mid November) will be delivered within the next couple of weeks. I think the antibody issue is unusual but I was just wondering if anyone had any experience of any early delivery (either induced or C-section) as I'm stressing out about the risks of the baby coming before she's ready.

I think generally I'm just feeling very overwhelmed and stressed anyway as it's my first baby and I'm so worried about her developing anaemia/struggling because of the early delivery. She's small (12th percentile) but growing steadily.

Thank you.

My son was born at 36 weeks after me going into labour naturally. He had a few issues with retaining his body temperature and he had jaundice so was in hospital for 10 days afterwards for the jaundice as it kept creeping back but he was able to stay on the ward with me. Other than that he was perfectly healthy.

Hi Op I was induced at thirty five and a half weeks due to pre eclampsia. In labour 3 days but then emergency c section.
DD was 5 lbs and the skinniest little thing. She's 10 now, the tallest child in her class, in age 12-13 clothes and size 6 feet!
