Good luck mommy, I hope you and baby are ok. Try not to stress, I had my baby before he was ready at 35wks and he only required one week of nicu. We had all the normal issues that come with having an 'age - corrected' baby but 15mths later he's a happy healthy boy. Hopefully the hospital will stop it for you. Sending baby positive thoughts!

My baby boy was born a week ago at 36 weeks and he was in icu for 5 days on a drip and having antibiotics 2 times a day.
He also took 2 days before he started to feed properly.
So Please don't try start labour early the longer he/she is in the oven the healthier and happier he/she will be hang in there I know the last few weeks are hard but it'll be worth it. X

Your baby will be worth the wait, why risk having a premature child just because you can't wait?

Babys are considered premature before 37 week if u didnt know. U only have 2 weeks to go. I know that sounds like a drag.but its for the best. Take some raspberry tea leaf it doesnt start labour but it tones the uterus making contracting stronger and speeds labour.it has lots of iron in it to good for baby

Unfortunately it's just something you gotta do... everyone is uncomfortable but you just have to put up with it... I'm uncomfortable and in pain, have been for weeks, I'm 36 weeks but I wanna keep her in as long as possible to make sure she is okay.

Just wait it out, baby is not ready to come out at 35 wks.  It'll be considered premature.
