how many weeks along were you when your baby/babies were born?

Re: mothers

  • I was 39w5d when JJ was born - I was induced. Doctor said I probably would've been late if my blood pressure hadn't skyrocketed.

    My mom was the same way with me - she got sick, so she was induced two days before I was due. My sister, however, was almost four weeks early...wonder if that'll happen next time around...

  • Amelia was born at 36wks 5 days.  I was induced the day before due to extremely low amniotic fluid level.

  • 29 weeks and 6 days...  Went to the hospital at 29 weeks 1 day.    Was induced bc I had a blood pressure headache and high proteins.   I'm scared that I'll get pre-eclampsia next time too only won't be as lucky as I was getting a healthy miracle baby like Luke.   Mentally I'm trying to get my mind wrapped around trying for #2...but.....the what if's are scary and are winning out right now.......

     

  • I was 41 weeks.  I was induced because my doctor does not let ladies go past the 41 week mark.  Other than that, I could have gone to 42 weeks.  I know some doctors will let you go to 42 weeks but mines doesnt for some reason.

    Technically Amelia is considered a preemie, but since it's only by two days it kind of depends on the doctor.  We count ourselves very lucky that she was never in the NICU and we left the hospital in the normal amount of time.  Of course, she was re-admitted the day after we were discharged to be treated for jaundice.

  • 30w6d. Random premature labor - no idea why. Which has me horribly nervous about #2 as well. Thankfully I have another 3 years to get used to the idea before we even think about trying.
  • I was Induced at 37w 5d for high BP. I had Brock at 38w exactly. I was not dilated or effaced at all when I was admitted. I did not have high proteins so they did not flag me as having pre-e. Dr. will be watching my BP like a hawk this time around and will be cutting salt from my diet when I get to 3rd tri.

  • Wow. I cant believe how many of you were induced. I'm glad everything turned out ok! I have missed so much, geez! 

    Anyway, I am going to ask my dr about any cut off she may have. I'm going to 42 weeks with or without her.  (Providing everyone is healthy, of course.)

    Have you guys seen "The Business of Being Born"?
