  • A mother is the best incubator for her growing baby. Every day inside of a mom will save three days inside of the newborn ICU. With that said, sometimes there comes a point in pregnancy where a baby, either for the baby's wellbeing or the mother's wellbeing, the baby would be better out. It sounds like you're having some complications where this might be the case. If your doctor ever recommends induction be sure to listen to them because they have your best interests at heart and they want you and your baby to be healthy and well. If it does come down to delivering you early talk with your doctor about your specific questions and they may also even recommend that a neonatologist from the newborn ICU comes and talks to you in greater detail about your baby's prognosis. They can share statistics with you and their experience with preterm babies when it comes to your gestational age, like at 32 weeks, 33 weeks, 34 weeks and tell you what you can likely expect. At the end of the day the best prognosis can be made after your baby is born when they see how he or she is responding to treatment. At 34 weeks the good thing is that the long-term prognosis is the same as full term babies. Actually if a woman goes into labor at 34 weeks her doctor will typically not stop her. This doesn't mean though that there wouldn't be hurdles to overcome in the beginning. Babies born between 34 and 37 weeks often have breathing issues and jaundice and they have issues with eating and so they have issues growing. They have to stay inside the newborn ICU until they're able to breathe on their own, and eat well, and they've overcome jaundice, and other issues that might have existed at the time of birth. If your baby is born preterm they usually say count on your baby being in the newborn ICU until their due date and if they get to go home sooner than that then it's a pleasant surprise. I hope the very best for you and your baby and if you have any other questions for me in the future feel free to ask them on our Facebook page at Facebook.com/IntermountainMoms and recommend us to your friends and family too.

    My 34+5 baby was only on oxygen & CPAP for 1 night, and was out of NICU and in my room by the 3rd day. Discharged home with me on my 4th day and only needed some vitamin D drops for 2 weeks, and regained all weight (5lbs 3 oz) by 2 weeks. Even the NICU Drs were like he was mostly in just due to hospital protocol being babies under 35 weeks must start in NICU but he has needed very little intervention and has been a happy healthy boy so far. Was an emergency C-section due to severe preeclampsia and fetal distress.

      My daughter was born at 35 weeks, perfectly healthy, just small. No NICU stay at all.
      I'm 33 weeks +2 days right now, I'm having the same worries that this daughter will be born around the same time.
      No advice, but you're not alone ❤

      Yes, duper late but I had my first daughter at 37 weeks and a couple days old, for my second daughter I actually asked them if I can be placed on bed rest due to that and they told me no and they couldn’t until I was 38 weeks pregnant, I had her at 34 weeks, a week after asking them about the bed rest

    I'm asking a question my son is already an adult now he just turned 18 but I just wonder I wasn't able to nurse properly at 34 weeks I kept pumping and no milk would come out I just wonder why is it because he was so early and they gave me the epidural during the pregnancy for delivery and I was having sharp pains in my kneecaps they gave me birth control the shot and I felt his at my milk

      Pepper Oni oops that’s a typo i meant to put 6 weeks premature, how ever I will say this just because a baby is born prematurely doesn’t mean that they will have health problems, my friends baby was born 10 weeks premature and because he had no health issues and was already 4lbs when born once he reached 5lbs he was aloud home, maybe before you make judgmental comments you should consider that miracles DO happen

    I started bleeding heavily in 23 weeks and doctor said that there's a damage in my water bag. So the level of watwr is less. And recommended to deliver @ 34 weeks. I am wondering that weather the baby can develop in side the womb with lower level of water?
