Question about babies born at 35 weeks?

Favorite Answer

I had toxemia and went to the hospital once at 33 weeks due to some bleeding and was having contractions (dehydration) 2-3 minutes apart and was told that being 33 weeks it would be safe for me to have the baby. They would only give me fluids to stop the contractions. It worked! However I wasn't dilated or effaced.


I had my daughter on October 3rd at 35 1/2 weeks. She was born at 4lbs 4oz and was perfectly healthy (thank GOD)! She had a poor suck for the first couple days and a little jaundice but that's it!
She was going to come home with me the day I was discharged but couldn't hold her body temp. so they kept her 2 more days, no NICU!
She came home at 3lbs 15 oz
We were very blessed!
Good luck and good health to you and your baby!

Question about babies born at 35 weeks?
Have you, or anyone you know of, delivered a baby at 35 weeks? If so how big was the baby, and what, if any problems did the baby have? Alos, did the baby have to stay in the NICU, or did/her she go home when mom was discharged.

I was born myself at 35 weeks even. I went home with my mother, and weighed 6 lbs. even. Im perfectly healthy now besides anemia and some mild asthma. Which are both easily treated. And I was born in 1990, so a baby born in 2008 at 35 weeks has pretty good chances to be 100% healthy!! GOOD LUCK!!...Show more
