amnio

[Jaime7]

Im not sure yet when I am going to have my baby but on the 29th i will be 36weeks and 2 days and they are going to do a amnio and i am on hospital bed rest i had two steriod shots and if the babys lungs are developed they are going to deliver me? i am hoping that they will be because a month in this hospital is long enough what do u think

It's hard, and a torturous waiting game, but if you can bear it, the longer you let baby stay inside, the better. If you can get to 37/ 38 weeks, you've done a marvellous job at  minimising the possibility of breathing problems all-together. Each extra day baby gets inside is helping him/ her develop and prepare for the outside world. It will be worth doing in the end. You are just a few more weeks away from holding your baby anyway.
Good Luck.

They delivered my girl 09-29-09 at 37w+1d and she had no problems breathing etc... 9/9 apgar. Also had no steroid shots.
Wishing you luck,
Joanne
