At how many weeks is it safe to go into labor?
I realize this is a question for my MW - but just curious (I'll be asking at my appt next week). I'll be 36-weeks on Tuesday, if I go into labor now, do I labor at home or would my labor need to be stalled? Anyone know? Thanks!

37 weeks is considered full term. Before 37 baby would be considered a ppreemie. I'm not sure if they actively stop labor at 36 weeks...it might vary based on circumstances.
Eta...at 35/36 weeks I would not labor at home. I'd definitely call Dr right away. It's still a little too early in a normal pregnancy.

At 36 weeks I wouldn't think they would stall your labor. I personally wouln't labor at home just incase the baby is in some sort of distress.

Re: At how many weeks is it safe to go into labor?
Thanks! I had no action with DS1 - this pregnancy I've had some very strong BH contractions, pelvic pains, and other 'labor might be coming' signals and it suddenly occurred to me - huh, what if I go into labor now? I'll do anything to stay out of the hospital!!

My doctor told me right now at 35 weeks they wouldn't stall my labor. I woudl call and see if I could labor at home a little; but if my OB said to come right in I would.

I delivered at exactly 37 weeks. There was no even thought to stop or delay it. I went rght to the hospital and DS was born 6-9 and no issues at all.

I'm on modified bed rest until 36 weeks, my OB said at that point it's safe if I go into labor.

Re: At how many weeks is it safe to go into labor?
37 weeks is technically full term, but I'm sure there are other factors involved in deciding if they stall you or let you deliver.
Why? Is everything ok?

I never went into labor with my son and I'm almost positive his head never really descended. My guess is this baby is making a slow descent, which is causing all sorts of aches and pains I didn't experience with my son. I got off the LIRR last week and felt like I had taken a 50 mile bike ride - my pelvis felt bruised! Of course now I feel fine again... I'm so anxious about avoiding any kind of intervention, that I'm making myself a little crazy!
