I was told anything after 30wks has a good chance if baby has to be delivered. We're trying to make it to 36wks but hospital on standby for 32-35wks. My son was born at 35wks and only required 1wk.of NICU. It really depends of baby's lung development and feeding if they will need nicu or not at that many weeks gestation and no other issues. Hoping it all goes well!

I have a 4 year old who was super excited to have a baby sister then I had to give him the bad news it was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do and I can't stand to have to do it again it would break my heart. I have everything ready for this baby and im just so scared bcuz im so close the more excited I get the more afraid I become

Noone can say forsure. At 36 weeks your baby is developing still. And as long as you can hold them in there is best. But if you were to deliver then.. the odds of your baby having something wrong.. no one knows. Major birth defects.. wont be common. Because your a late premature. Or even jaundice. It could be at home sunlight. Or an incubator. All depends on development. And strength of the baby!

Some people class 36 weeks as full term. 36 weeks is a really good week to go to hun. I can't imagine going through a stillbirth and I'm so sorry you went through it but try stay positive. They can do wonderful things with medicine these days.
My friends cousin had her son 3 weeks ago and she was only 27 weeks along and he's doing well and breathing on his own so they can fight from a really young age.
