At 36 weeks my doctor told me I could go at any time. Maybe you'll get lucky!

After 37 weeks you are considered full term...
With me...I knew I was being taken early... @ 35/36 weeks if I wanted to deliver I had to have an amnio to prove my babys lungs were fully matured... Had I waited til 37 there wouldve been no need for the test!

Those sonos are rarely right...
@ 32 weeks they said Ryan was 5lbs...
then 2days before I delivered the told me he was 6-6
Well he came out 7-12... at exactly 37 weeks 3 days...

This is what my Dr had said to me:
Alot of babies are done "cooking" by 36 weeks... lungs are done...there a good size and so on... but some babies..take a little more time to cook...there is no way to know for sure...
I had alot of issues at the end of my preg.
So my DR and I discussed this when talking about inducing and doing the amnio...
He kept saying to me...Im sure he is done cooking...but I just need that test to back me up...and sure enough he was right~ However I was also on steroids for the last month and a half of my preg.
