Dont want to pass 37 weeks (tmi)

[missy123421]

Hello ladies, I know this might sound selfish but I dnt want my baby passing the 37th weeks mark. I dnt want a big baby, despite the fact that am sexually active, my birth canal seems to shrink and get tight the very nxt day. im currently 27wks, so 10 more wks.....im plannin to do everything possible starting week 35 to kick start labor naturally.....is it a bad idea?

You dont want to have your baby before 37 weeks. Their lungs are not fully developed and they can have health problems. I would talk to your Dr. If I we're you about your concerns about birth. They will beable to tell you if your body won't beable to handle a full term natural birth

WOW!!! yea sounds selfish but i doubt it will work nothing u do or try will start labor till ur bby is actually ready... and i doubt ur doc will allow u to tdeliver that early he will mre then try to stop labor....and if by chance u do have the bby it will prob spend time in the nicu and have a lot of complications.. im going on 39+5 and im tired as h### but its up to the bby whn they r ready not us
