Natural childbirth before term: what to do?

You're all set, waiting for the due date, and counting the days.

  • Except that your baby is in a greater hurry than expected to meet her family and that contractions disrupt your plans.
  • If you are less than 8 months pregnant, it is better to go to the maternity hospital as soon as possible in order to be taken care of quickly.
  • Giving birth too early can have consequences for your baby's health.
  • However, if you are in the last month of pregnancy, don't worry, the baby is usually ready to come out!

One of my friends just had a preterm delivery, her baby boy is in the nicu. She had an emergency C-section. I would like to do a care package for her but on the cheaper side. Any ideas on what I could get her & baby?

I'm at risk for preterm delivery and I'm wondering of its sage to have sex at 31 weeks and 5 days knowing I'm at risk. I'm feeling spicy.

I'm 27 weeks, my last child was preterm at 34 weeks and I had a retained placenta.. I'm currently experiencing lots of pelvic pressure, back pain and every other day pinkish/light brown discharge, could it be possible I'm going to have another preterm delivery??

Anyone else high risk for preterm labor due to a previous preterm baby? If so how did your appointments go from 26 weeks going forward and was your second early too?

I am considered high risk for preterm labor ,both my kids before this one were both early . They were born at 33 weeks and 34 weeks . We sure thought I was going to go early . Here I am about to be 36 weeks on Monday. At 28 weeks I got the shots for his lungs . They pretty told me if I feel contractions and what not . I was told to to labor and delivery.

Did they know a reason for why your previous births were preterm? My son was born at 34 weeks and they didn’t have a reason to why other than he didn’t wanna stay in and I was slowly leaking fluid.
