Why would you think that you wouldn't get to term because you were a preemie?  I don't understand

I had my daughter at 41 weeks that's considered full term,but she was only 5lbs and they classify that as a premie. She was perfectly healthy just so small. She finally caught up to her weight scale.

I was born at around 33 weeks.
Went into early Labour at 32 weeks but the hospital stopped my contractions.  Managed to give birth at 38+3

I was born at 30 weeks (haven't had my baby yet) I am now almost 35 weeks pregnant and still haven't had my baby. However, I have had cramps and Braxton Hix and some spotting and a few other problems. But just because you were born early I don't think it means you'll have your baby early. My dr says 37 is still full term so it's okay me being this close if I ever did go into labor. Good luck I hope things work out with you and your baby. Just try and stay healthy and do what you can to keep that baby okay

My daughter was a scheduled c section 2 weeks early which is still considered full term because she was so small she was fully developed but had stopped growing chances for a still birth were higher because of her weight and size so they brought her out early any thing less then 5 lbs is considered a premie and by the grace if god she was exactly 5 lbs so no nicu for her she is now two is still on the small side but other than that she is extremely smart active and a wonderful child so even if he is kinda small he'll be ok so long story short even if u go full term it's not necisarilly mean he's not a premie if he weighs less then 5 lbs and for the record there was nothing I did to make her under weight I took my meds did not smoke drink or do drugs went to every appointment and ate all the right foods my abdominal area was just to small for her to grow in
