i know this sounds bad - i am 33 weeks 2days pregnant - i have been off work sick for over a month as i am not in the best of health - i have condition pernicious anemia only recently diagnosed though. i am so tired and dont have any energy with this condition aswell as being pregnant. i have been told baby is fully developed and is very healthy and she is over the average baby weight at this stage - shes just over 5 pounds. i have heard that expressing before baby is born brings on labour - i know it sounds selfish but i really just want the baby out soon. anyone got any info on expressing by electronic pump at say 36/37 weeks would this put me in labour? please dont be nasty because i know it sounds horrible and selfish but i love my baby more than anything and cant w8 to meet her but sooner rather than later.

Hiya i can understand why you want baby soon! I just had no4 and after 4 weeks of slow labour i would of tried anything to get him out!

To be honest, nothing will put you into labour unless your body and babys ready.

To other people who answered, if you read the question you will see that yes she says she is 33 weeks pregnant but asks if at 36/37 weeks woould expressing work! So stop giving her a hard time! We've all been there!

A healthy pregnancy is between 37/42 weeks so after 37 weeks try expressing and see what happens!

Good luck

Hi



I know you are tired. But you really need to wait until your body goes in to labour naturally, you reach term, 37 weeks and over.



There are so many things that a baby born before term is at risk of, no matter how much they weight.

Infection

Respiratory Distress syndrome

Development issue

(these are just a few)



The weight is irrelevant. Nothing can replace being in the womb.



When you get to 37/38 weeks discuss with your doctor about an induction if you are still feeling really sick.



Good Luck

Go and have a walk around a special care baby unit, that should cure you of your feelings. Nobody can tell you the exact weight of a baby in the womb, her lungs aren't fully developed, and if you feel bad now, imagine how you will feel with a baby in SCBU, knowing she is there because you couldn't wait for her to go full term.

Edit: even when born at 37/38 weeks a baby can still be in SCBU if they are a low weight. Very few women experience no problems during pregnancy, so you're hardly alone in the way you are feeling.

Their lungs are not fully developed until 37 weeks. If you had your baby any sooner it would be in NICU in an icubator hooked up to all kinds a machines. I'm sorry, but shame on you! I had all kinds of problems during my pregnancy and was in sheer pain and still would not let them induce me early even though they wanted to! I even had dislocated ribs from him kicking me. I put up with the pain and discomfort for my baby and I went into labor at 39 weeks and I have a healthy baby. And being exhausted is just a part of pregnancy. Wait until you have your newborn. What will you do when you have to feed him every 3 hours? You'll only have about 1 and 1/2 of sleep at a time. What will you do then???? Ask the doctors to put him back in?

Im 37 weeks and have severe anemia, Im weak, tired, and on top of that I have a bladder infection but there is no way that I would want my baby to come before 40 weeks because I want to give her the best start I want to be able to take my baby home when I go. You aren't the only one with issues right now.

if your baby was ready to come now doctors would have no problem inducing you now...... they wont for a reason. Your baby is not ready to be born. im32 weeks pregnant with bby number 2 and also have alot of health problems when you got pregnant you knew all the possible side effects that come with it too. its just too risky and you would never forgive yourself if your child had problems later in life knowing it was becaus eof something you did, with my 1st i was so fed up i just wanted him out but common sense and love for my little boy wiped any ideas from my mind... i went overdue 2 weeks with him and trust me i would have rather have gone overdue 2months rather than risk my babies health, its a long, hard, emotional time its only normal to have all these feelings but your more than 3/4 there what harm will a few more weeks make..... good luck xx

all babys and pregnancys and cercumstances are different but i think that babys are born when they are ready and not before for a good reason,



why dont you talk to a midwive before doing anything as you really dont know what harm you might do if this does bring on labour and i am sure as you love your baby and do not wish him/her any harm you will.



after all we enter pregnancy knowing of the discomforts overwhelming tiredness lack of energy and sickness it can cause, but go through it all for our children - that is part of being a good mother.



good luck and all the best in your pregnancy

Don't tempt fate hun let her have the best start in life my son was born early and has a lot of problems interacting with others and doing day to day tasks he is very intelligent in some aspects and in others has no grasp what so ever because of his prem brain.I know you're tired and fed up but it's tiring and frustrating dealing with someone who for all intent purposes seems the same as the next person but has so many hidden problems holding him back.

very lifelike certainly! you like time to heal and settle in. i will learn it to the newly marrieds' honeymoon era. think of attractive human beings right this moment when you have wedded. besides, it desires greater suitable than basically one perspective of attention. relatives not being allowed to confirm the toddler for long won't be an exceedingly solid thought. What I didnot examine you assert, is whether or not relatives out of your part try this form of factor, and what you experience approximately it. You portray purely your husband's relatives to be the unreasonable ones!!! probably, traveling for decrease than short sessions, and by using the day purely may be a physically powerful thought. And whoever remains around could instead be waiting to assist out in abode chores. And for the previous human beings, permit then comprehend which you will instead take there the toddler right this moment you're settled.

Pernicious Anemia is generally treatable with injections of the Vitamin B12 the body is failing to make. Why not get the Vitamin B12 injections.

Any home remedy labor inducers will only work if your body and baby are ready. Talk to your doctor about the possibility of inducing labor at 38 weeks (unless there is a medical reason or you are having twins, they will not induce before 38 weeks) address your concerns and discomforts and he/she may be willing to work on a solution with you.

Nothing will work. She will come when she is ready.

Stop being so selfish, her lungs aren't even developed properly until 37 weeks.Do you want to end up with her having to be hooked upto machines that breathe for her?!

The ability to read is vital for success. It helps your child succeed in school, helps them build self-confidence, and helps to motivate your child. Being able to read will help your child learn more about the world, understand directions on signs and posters, allow them to find reading as an entertainment, and help them gather information.



Here you can find a step-by-step online program that can help your child learn to read: http://readingprogram.toptips.org



Learning to read is very different from learning to speak, and it does not happen all at once. There is a steady progression in the development of reading ability over time. The best time for children to start learning to read is at a very young age - even before they enter pre-school. Once a child is able to speak, they can begin developing basic reading skills. Very young children have a natural curiosity to learn about everything, and they are naturally intrigued by the printed texts they see, and are eager to learn about the sounds made by those letters. You will likely notice that your young child likes to look at books and thoroughly enjoys being read to. They will even pretend to behave like a reader by holding books and pretend to read them.

It's normal to feel that way my doctor told me 35 weeks is safe the other day. When I was there he told me my daughter is going to be early. Her head is super low which is causing me not to be able to walk very well. I feel horrible so I know exactly what you mean. Braxton hicks contractions and riping my uterus from her pushing down I will be 33 weeks Friday. I can no longer eat and I have a uti from being down. I'm more than ready for her to come as well but, I want her to be safe. I know you are misrable but, that's part of being pregnant. They say sex and seman will start contractions. Best of luck to you.

It will not put you in labour unless your body is ready to do so. Nothing will!



I had my twins at 32wks 4 days and wish I went longer! It is not worth the risks. There is no way of them telling if your baby is really ready to be born or if they are viable on their own. I know you're uncomfortable, but for the baby's sake it's not worth it! If you love your baby, you can wait. Wouldn't you feel awful if you had your baby and he/she couldn't breathe?
2010-01-22 05:29:56 UTC
i know your uncomfortable and unwell but wait just now, your babys lungs aren't fully developed yet. you can look up what is happenening to your baby at weeks and she deffo wont be ready to come out just yet. i know its hard but we all just got to wait til our little ones are ready. it's not in there best interest to do any different.



good luck with the rest of your pregnancy
