ST parents: one of my docs just told me she doesn't see me going past 34 or 35 weeks. (the plan was to induce after 37.) On a scale of 1 to PANIC, how

Concerned should I be by this news?

34 weeks is so early!!

Responses:

depending on the reason, 2.5 (panic is never good!) Are they talking about steroid shots to help the lungs mature? Will they do an amnio - kare Oct 14, 11:03

2. It's ok to be concerned, but I'm guessing they're watching out for your health as well. - BloodyAxeSean Oct 14, 10:51 2
- My health is the potential issue at the moment. - kelly Oct 14, 10:58 1
  - SheFox was admitted to the hospital at 34 weeks and then kept there for a week before inducing at 35. - TFox Oct 14, 11:02
3. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 14, 10:45
ask her why. express that your preference is to go as long as humanly possible. - TFox Oct 14, 10:44
Bun in the over? - lileve Oct 14, 10:44 4
- more like a full loaf by now. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 14, 10:45 3
  - Is someone in charge of making sure Will doesn't eat his young? -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 14, 10:47 2
    - unless he can detatch his jaw like a python, I do not see that as a concern. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 14, 10:48 1
      - have you met will? -- nm - slutty werewolf demon cheerleader loosilu Oct 14, 10:48
They're docs for a reason. Don't panic. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 14, 10:43 42
- *looks at the baby's room* Can I panic? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 14, 10:44 41
  - the baby doesn't necessarily go into the room immediately. -- nm - slutty werewolf demon cheerleader loosilu Oct 14, 10:45 40
    - 3 nights in bassinet (sp?) in the room and then out! -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 14, 10:46 34
      - obviously I am not a parent, but I don't know any parents who put the kid in their room that soon. -- nm - slutty werewolf demon cheerleader loosilu Oct 14, 10:47 29
        
        My kids were in their room day 1. It was just across the hall. We had a baby monitor. - pmb Oct 14, 10:55 3
        
        I think we want the baby in her room from day one. I think. - kare Oct 14, 11:05 2
        
        *i am not a parent* - i know the reason a few of my friends kept babies in their room at first was for nursing. - Frandinstein Oct 14, 11:16
        
        Forgive me, but I'm now trying to remember if slept in the same as my puppies their first few nights. I'm pretty sure I was too anxious about them not - mara Oct 14, 11:09
        
        I exaggerate slightly for effect but I'm positive it was a week, maybe 2 in the bassinet and then into the crib in their own room. We never had the - kilbooooo Oct 14, 10:52 14
        
        co-sleeping! -- nm - znufrii Oct 14, 11:00
        
        We actually just had our first conversation on this last night. I honestly have no idea what the "right" amount of time is on it. We figured a month. - Name Withheld by Request Oct 14, 10:59 2
        
        That's probably about what I'd do. -- nm - mara Oct 14, 11:10
        
        some people go considerably longer than that. Ask Vermy. -- nm - slutty werewolf demon cheerleader loosilu Oct 14, 11:01
        
        People actually get cribs *and* bassinets?? We just shoved them in teh crib to start. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 14, 10:54 4
        
        I would just get a bowl and some blankets. -- (link) - slutty vampire ghost pirate nurse amanda jones Oct 14, 10:57 [Image]
        
        we bought a really gorgeous bassinet, I think we used it twice - Evil Beaker Oct 14, 10:55
        
        We did only because we never put the crib in our room, I believe -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 14, 10:55 1
        
        oh, totally separate room. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 14, 10:56
        
        gotcha. seems like many parents I know kept the child in the master bedroom for a long time. - slutty werewolf demon cheerleader loosilu Oct 14, 10:54 3
        
        this. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 14, 10:55
        
        Especially for the first child, I'd guess. I mean, I'd be pretty anxious as a new parent; I know not everybody is. -- nm - mara Oct 14, 10:55 1
        
        we joke about her being our secret fourth child we don't care about. -- nm - Reagen Oct 14, 11:07
        
        so much easier to roll over and stuff a bottle in their mouths this way.... - ghouly Oct 14, 10:54
        
        so will and kelly must be doing it way wrong. (you really don't read yourself, do you?) -- nm - TFox Oct 14, 10:48 9
        
        yes, that is exactly what I said. -- nm - slutty werewolf demon cheerleader loosilu Oct 14, 10:48 8
        
        i know, that's why i'm pointing it out to you. -- nm - TFox Oct 14, 10:49 7
        
        I suck for trying to lessen will's panic. -- nm - slutty werewolf demon cheerleader loosilu Oct 14, 10:50 6
        
        That might just as well be accomplished by simply hanging back and giving other people with personal experience a chance reply. -- nm - con_carnage Oct 14, 11:12 5
        
        glad you're here to help. -- nm - slutty werewolf demon cheerleader loosilu Oct 14, 11:16
        
        "The baby doesn't necessarily go into the room immediately" was really not that strong a statement. And, as it turned out, kind of correct. -- nm - mara Oct 14, 11:16 3
        
        it's almost as if I have friends and family who are actual humans. -- nm - slutty werewolf demon cheerleader loosilu Oct 14, 11:17 2
        
        Which is odd for a demon werewolf cheerleader. -- nm - mara Oct 14, 11:19 1
        
        he! -- nm - slutty werewolf demon cheerleader loosilu Oct 14, 11:20
      - Yep, Day 4, his ass is looking for a job to afford his rent. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 14, 10:47 3
        
        "your allowance is $1 a week, minus food, rent and the vagina surtax, you owe me $110 a week" -- nm - Evil Beaker Oct 14, 10:48 2
        
        "vagina surtax" is cracking me up. -- nm - slutty vampire ghost pirate nurse amanda jones Oct 14, 10:54
        
        We're not charging for food....I don't want to set a precedent that could be used against me. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 14, 10:49
    - Sure he does. That's where his sleeping stuff is. He goes there. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 14, 10:46 4
      - hahahaha -- nm - psilotum Oct 14, 10:48
      - all you need is the crib or even a bassinet to start. everything else can come after. -- nm - Reagen Oct 14, 10:48 1
        
        I know...i'm just trying to get all the ducks in a row upfront -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 14, 10:48
      - That's correct. Day 1. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 14, 10:48
